  • I'm full of (*&(*& because you had FluMist? And did you read the insert that came with it, or not bother? Maybe you should have read it before you went out shedding live flu virus everywhere you went for up to 21 days.

  • Combatgirl, that's the problem. You don't know if your child is going to respond negatively to vaccines until they get them. My oldest had vaccines reactions - eczema, hives, fevers, and later, autism, so I'm not running the risk with my younger children.
