[QUOTE="Fervent Freyja, post: 5435138, member: 584792"] With child vaccination schedules, all one must do is call the pediatricians office and request detailed information. Each pediatrician does have access to more than "handouts". With my 4-year old daughter, I have usually requested information about the upcoming vaccines (brand/batch/method/etc.) and studies to support [I]that [/I]vaccine, brochures and printouts are given without asking. http://www.aappublications.org/search/immunizations [URL='https://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-initiatives/immunization/Pages/CaseStudies.aspx']Case studies on immunizations from AAP [/URL] To be honest here, I doubt any "white paper" would help change their perspective- they simply may not have enough knowledge about the history of vaccines, the history of what viruses can do to the world (and still do), child development, biology, immunity, that immunization, population outcomes, and such. Are they concerned about their childs health and actively informing themselves about child development? Simply following the new anti-vaccine hype, just because [I]other people[/I] read some "studies"? Also, I have found that some children that aren't vaccinated on schedule are at-risk children with parents that simply don't care about their health. My little sister does not even take them to a pediatrician, but a walk-in clinic only when they are sick, as the prior ones were being suspicious about many neglectful signs. I have taken my nephew to all his dental appointments. Some just don't care. I'm not saying that those who refuse to immunize are neglectful or ignorant parents, but it is indeed a sign (among many) that healthcare providers do watch out for in order to catch child abuse and neglect- and I'm glad they do because if the time comes and I need custody of them, then it will be a little more evidence that I've been collecting. Oh, and because of that, my nephew caught whooping cough at 3 years old, which then his 3 month old sister was hospitalized for- it can kill infants and is serious. However, I do not have my family get flu shots and am weary of antibiotics- that is a last resort in my opinion. Antibiotics often destroy much other than a targeted type, and that takes months of lowered immunity to rebuild in heavily populated areas of the body. Months without defense of good bacteria or lowered immunity have to be detrimental to a childs development and place them far off the very delicate, time-sensitive path of normal child development.
