Two days ago I had a special hatred in my heart for parents in my area who won't immunize their children.
I had told Special K "No shots today." Well she needed another Varicella shot because there's an outbreak here. I blame the novax parents for that. She also needed Hep A as well. Okay the reason she can get that is due to globalization which I don't hate. Bacterias have the lovely quality of being able to last for a while. And I understand that there are millions especially in the third world who don't have access/can't afford immunizations.
Special K screamed and screamed and screamed mostly before the shots were given. I felt bad that I had forgotten about the Hep A. I can understand her feeling of betrayal.
We decided to give Little T Pediarix that day also. He just let out a soft whimper. No big deal after so many blood draws and transfusions and other nasty procedures. Reactions -so far so good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
