I agree we do not need to overwhelm there immune system, but those who decide to wait on certain vaccination (Heb B, varricela and MMR) let me just put something out there. When you vaccinate yes you are vaccinating against the disease, but you are also vaccinating your child against other children who are sick or are are not immunized. We live in such a deverse population with people come from other countries everyday. Therefore, b/c these other countries do not follow the same guidlines as we do what they bring over can cause other children here in the states to become sick even though we do not have a problem.
You are vaccinating against others. Be safe.
