Hello, NC for this.
I am going to start by stressing this is not a thread for opinions on whether to vaccinate children or not. That’s an individual decision for everyone.
I do vaccinate my children because I believe the pros outweigh the risks.
My newborn obviously isn’t old enough for any jabs yet.
The subject came up with a friend as to whether I would allow our friends who are anti-vaccinations to be visiting my newborn in my own home due to risks of them being carriers of any of the ailments the vaccinations cover.
I can honestly say it’s not something I had considered before. My thoughts are my baby could come into contact with lots of people who have various illnesses, germs etc.
However, I was wondering if I’m being too laid back or whether my friends are just being neurotic in terms of the visiting/contact?
As I’ve said, please don’t make this into a slanging match about pro/anti vaccinations, please take the question as it is -
Is it unreasonable to think unvaccinated visitors are putting a newborn at extra risk?
Unreasonable - don’t be ridiculous!
Reasonable - don’t risk it!
