my DD had her first lot of immunisations 3 weeks ago. before that she hadn't been ill. Since having them, she's been projectile vomiting most days rather than about once a week before, had a cough+cold since a few days after, been waking up screaming, not feeding as well and crying a lot more. It seems like its weakened her immune system if anything.
I took her to the doctors about the cough and she said to just keep an eye that her breathing didnt start to be raspy, and that side effects from the injections "usually" only last 48 hours.
i'm just concerned that it's actually doing more harm than good, after reading the immunisations booklet, one of the things hadn't even had a case in the uk for about 20 years, and so seems like it's just putting things in her system for the sake of it to still be doing it now.
i definitely don't want her having them yet, especially as she's still under the weather, but i'm not sure about them at all really. My DM has also been saying about links between autism and learning difficulties increasing since they've become standard procedure. I'm sure that's just a fluke but it just seems another risk. I'm really not convinced the benefit outweighs the side effects at the moment.
