Many parents get caught up in the emotional but need to get an effective "fact filter" in place. I do think that the number and schedule of vaccines needs to be re-evaluated, and now each vaccine decision (to do or not to do and if so, when) is a very conscious and serious decision to me. I also think that there are some for whom vaccines are not as effective and am open to the possibility that they can have difficult "side effects" (if you want to call Autism a "side effect"). My children are still "fully vaccinated" but I have delayed some, done titers as an alternative, etc. It is not (and should not be) an auto-pilot decision for our kids.
