It can be a long and hard illness even if it is not deadly, with a spasmodic cough and thick gray mucus lasting for a long time. But for children under 6 months, it remains a severe concern. Of course, the vaccine series is not completed until AFTER the infant has grown out of the danger period.

That is over HALF. Those of us who choose to not vaccinate also choose to educate ourselves with the signs of illness. We know what symptoms to look for so we can treat our children as needed.

She does have some, but hasn't had any since her 4 month set and she is now almost 8 months. I feel strongly that they are wrong and do more harm than good, however I am terrified of either one of my girls getting an illness that could have been prevented. <br /><Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207412750297226944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696700066484520396.post-41728833175311234732011-02-02T10:42:47.861-07:002011-02-02T10:42:47.861-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this.
