Danielle, I don’t vaccinate my son because of family history of vaccine injury. However, I am so sorry for your loss and completely understand your position. I applaud you for getting involved. I wanted you to know that I it is heartbreaking to read your story. My aunt and uncle lost their youngest boy to the MMR vaccine when Jeremy died suddenly after the shot…and it was heart-wrenching to bury a child. I was young, but I remember my mother and the family being destroyed by the loss and the pain remains raw. There are no words, but I wanted you to know I am heartbroken to hear your story.

Thanks for all of your support and comments. Heather that is the biggest fight I think many of us have as moms. I still have a few friends that refuse to vaccinate their children, even after they saw how our daughter suffered. Many of them have the stance that it is their child and their choice. My response to that is that when your choices affect the health and life of my child it becomes my concern. Good luck with that.

I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter, but I want to thank you for creating this blog. I actually know two moms in my playgroup that won’t vaccinate their kids. It is scary, not only that their kids might get some horrible disease, but that it also puts my (vaccinated) kid at risk.

Thanks so much for speaking out for vaccines in this format. I am a pediatrician who routinely advises new moms and dads to get all the teens and adults in their families immunized with Tdap if they haven’t already been immunized, but I wish there were some way to get more obstetricians to incorporate this vaccine into the pregnancy-planning visits an to encourage everyone besides mom to get it during the pregnancy. we do offer it at the birthing hospital to the moms, at least.
