I think the program tonight (Sunday,3rd of July) was imbalanced. The person used to put forward the argument against vaccination came across as a person out of their depth. Hooping Cough is dangerous and I empathise with those who have endured a family members suffering. However, when I completed my Masters degree (not that long ago) it was a fact that for every 1000 or 10,000 babies (can't remember the exact percentage) immunised, one healthy baby as a result of the vaccination permanent brain damage. I am also heard from a family member of a person- who took a typhoid vacine to go on an overseas trip and ended up a tetropegic. Vaccinations should be avoided unless they are really needed as a percentage of those taking them end up with serious health problems.

After a lot of reading and researching I left the decision of vaccination until my daughter was one year old, which was last week. I would like to thank Rebecca for her comment and also emphasis that there are so many parent stories and research, not covered in the media, for what ever reason that should be considered before agreeing to vaccinate. I have decided to leave vaccinating my daughter for a number of reasons. I demand more investigations and more accurate testing! Tania.
