Immunisation for sure. We are a lucky generation that hasn’t seen the effects of some of these diseases and feel we have a choice. I’d much rather never know the effects of these diseases and get the immunisations. Trust the experts!!

I am for immunization! Prevention is better than …..

I am a strong supporter of immunisation. Last year, my husband and two of our children got whooping cough, despite being fully immunised. It did mean they all got a much milder dose of the illness than had they not been immunised at all. I felt so helpless during the months it took for them all to recover. The worst was the heart-break nursing a 1yr old, trying to help her breathe.

I am a mummy that immunises, rather prevent.

Thanks for sharing this interesting article; parents have to make the choice for their child and protect them from danger and it includes vaccination from preventable diseases. Ten minutes of crying is better than contracting a preventable disease and the complications of the diseases.

I agree with you! I’m for immunisation. Even though it’s very hard to see my little one to cry, to cause her pain, but it is for her benefit, to help prevent serious illness.

I don’t understand why people don’t immunise each to there own but how do they get them into schools and kinders if they don’t??

I know there are risks involved in having immunisations, but all children MUST be immunised. Schools won’t take children if they haven’t been immunised nowadays. Whooping Cough is back, Why? Because of those parents who won’t immunise their children. Have you seen a baby with Whooping Cough? It is so sad and awful to see a little baby so sick, it brings me to tears. My daughter and son in law both have had whooping cough over the last couple of years.

What will happen if Polio comes back, and it will. If people don’t immunise their children, these dreaded diseases will return, and I would never forgive any parent for not immunising their children if one of my grandchildren gets terribly ill with Polio or Whooping cough or any of those other diseases we thought were gone.

Please, I beg of you, the chance of getting very sick with polio or whooping cough far outweighs the risks of having the injections.

there has been so much controversy as of late about this, I personally am all for immunisations. thanks for sharing

Im all for immunizations ans I always will be

My child had a bad reaction to a vaccination, not life threatening but as with most things, it could have been. I discussed it with the doctor who, when it came time for the booster, ran simple tests (yes tears involved) & found out the culprit…. and left it out of the mix. I am for.

Thanks for your views on this controversial topic.

Ive always been for it after having my 8 children immunised never regreted it

Nobody likes seeing their child upset from immunisations, but it is temporary discomfort.

i’m for and i dont mind addmitting it

Definitely for! It’s proven that immunising has reduced the occurance of what was once deadly problems.

It is tough very briefly, but I didn’t hesitate for a second

I am for it had both my immunised

Here’s the question that should be asked when it comes to immunisation: What would happen if we all agreed with the anti vaccine objectors and did as they do – nothing.

The immunity of others helps protect us all.

Vaccinations are not perfect, but it’s all we have, we’re not talking about the flu here but other very serious diseases like small pox that has now been assessed as a possible biological weapon.

The government needs to grow a backbone and make immunisation compulsory for infectious diseases, with the only exceptions being for children who have a medical illness that prevents them from being vaccinated.

As to the people that say they should have a choice, well – as it stands right now, you do.

always for, anything that can stop a child getting sick is worth the minor risk
