Positing on aibu in hopes to get more of a response .
my 1 year old has her 12 month vaccines on Wednesday, I wasn’t overthinking it until I seen TikTok’s of reactions to the vaccine , then all the comments saying how after the vaccine their child was having seizures, gave them health issues etc etc and how it is “literal poison” and that “they don’t make money if you’re not poorly, the vaccines are poison” also multiple stated they’ve never vaccinated their kids and they’re really healthy and never sick compared to those who have been vaccinated . My one year old is up to date with hers and now I’m absolutely dreading these one as obviously there’s 2 new ones she’s never had , am I massively overthinking this? I knowwww if she doesn’t get vaccinated she can get really sick, but then people telling me that it’s going to cause health issues, seizures, possibly Sid’s ? Is making me too scared to do it , I’m wondering if anyone has any experiences, and in hopes to reassure me that I’m doing the right thing by getting her vaccinated . I don’t want anything bad to happen to her I’m so scared . (Before anyone asks , yes I have bad anxiety as you’ll tell from my other threads lol) I don’t wanna pass it on to my daughter I just wanna do the right thing , thanks in advance

FFS! Take medical advice from the professionals, not some randomers on tiktok. Or here.

Tik tok is full of shit.

You just want to do the right thing?? Well quite obviously you should follow the official health guidance (ie get the vaccinations) than listen to ignorant twats on TikTok.

Your anxiety shouldn’t stop you from being able to apply common sense.

No I know , i was just reading other people’s experiences on Tiktok and it scared me !

There are side effects to all medications and you’re much more likely to hear form those who had negative experiences as it wouldn’t make good viewing to be boring on tik tok so please don’t worry

Are you really going to believe some random people on TikTok over proper medical research?

I can go on TikTok and say vaccines caused my child to turn purple and start speaking French. Doesn't make it true.

😭😭😭

If you’re worried you can split the vaccines and do some at 12 m and the rest at 13 m

Get your medical advice from the NHS, not TikTok.

Sorry, hit post too soon. The vaccines are life saving. Please please give them to your DC.

It is the right thing to get your child vaccinated.
