Just that really, parents who choose not to vaccinated their children what made you decide? How are you're kids now do they get sick often ? Any allergies?
I don't want this turning into a debate of why you should vaccinated you're child I'm simply asking parents why they choose not too? So if you can't respect people's decisions not to vaccinated please don't answer on this thread

I am pro vaccination. The vast majority of parents vaccinate their children. And thank goodness for that. I expect people who choose not to vaccinate their children do so due to a lack of education. This is different to a lack of information. Everybody has information about vaccination at their fingertips, but not everybody has had the education to help them discern good from bad information.

As is so often the case, first reply nailed it 👌

Conspiracy theories, innit? People saying they did “their own research”, which would consist of them googling what they want to find to back up their paranoia, rather than actual clinical research. Or their mate told them. Bonkers.

I slightly delayed DD's second round because she reacted to the first. I sought medical advice and was told to delay but book them later.

I can respect someone's decisions to take medical advice on vaccination. I can't respect someone's decision to endanger their child and everyone else's.

Because polio and diphtheria sound like a barrel of laughs.

Sorry but I’m pro vax. If not for my child, but for herd immunity. You aren’t seeing the long term problem

Because I did my research and made an informed decision that I did not want to vaccinate them.

And your comment about not wanting to start a debate is pointless on a topic like this, although I'm sure you know that.

Why are you asking?
