Default Re: Vaccine Nation
Thank you for this topic! I also am a RN in a pedi clinic and have been for over 6 years. These last 3 years so many parents are refusing to vaccinate or splitting up vaccines. Most of the information they have is false so it is our duty to educate them with the right information.

I have seen a 3 week old baby with pertussis and I vowed that my daugther would never be that baby. She is fully vaccinated. Even Hep B @ birth.

I hate the late vaccinators. Either splitting up vaccines on older kids or having to get caught up at the last minute is very traumatic. Then the parents act like we hurt them. Wow!

Hep B I don't believe contains thimersol. I have a book which has every ingredient in every vaccine at work and I will double check. I know the IPV multi-dose vial and the flu vaccine mulit-dose vial do contain trace amounts.
