Before you go to the pediatricians office for your childs wellness checkup, this is information for parents: if you vaccinate, ask eight questions to help you make an informed decision on vaccinations or immunizations.
These are the eight questions to need to ask yourself:
- Is my child sick right now?
- Has my child had a bad reaction to a vaccination before?
- Does my child have a personal of family history of vaccine reactions, neurological disorders, severe allergies, seizures, or immune system disorders?
- Do I know if my child is at risk of reacting?
- Do I have full information on the vaccine’s side effects?
- Do I know the vaccine manufacturer’s name and lot number?
- Do I know how to identify and report a vaccine reaction?
- Do I know I have the right to make an informed choice?

I just wanted to let parents know about the choices you have to vaccinate your child. At one time, this was not clear to me and we have seen the repercusions of not knowing this valuable information.
You need to know that you do have a choice to space out your child’s vaccine schedule, you don’t have to get 5 in one day, and you have a choice to delay the start of vaccinations (you don’t have to start them the day they are born).
Of course, vaccinations or immunizations are a sticky subject for most, and it all comes down to what you as the parent prefers for your child. I just wanted to inform everyone that you do have a choice always, even if they tell you that you do not (or make you feel like a “bad” parent if you don’t). Just remember this information for parents: if you vaccinate, ask eight!
We personally do not do vaccinations anymore due to our daughter having had seizures starting at 13 months old after her 1 year immunizations. You can see our story here at our journey through autism.
