Unvaccinated children around newborn

[Foldback]

I don't want to clog the other post here but I wondered what peoples thoughts are.

I'm currently pregnant. My closest friend chooses not to vaccinate her children aged 2 and 6 and has done this since pregnancy, both children attend nursery. Although I wouldn't make the same decision I don't want to debate her reasoning or the pros and cons of vaccination, there has been plenty of that on the other thread.

I have tried to research the possible risks but feel I'm stumbling in the dark on google. AIBU to not allow her / her children to have contact with my DS until he is able to receive his immunisations or am I being PFB?

Your pondering about how the immunity we pass on with maternal antibodies interacting has crossed my mind before too Joffrey. I'm particularly immune to rubella - it's been commented on a few times, but that's from the MMR vaccine. I gave DS single Rubella and that's one he reacted to worse than others which surprised me as such a mild jab usually (so I was told). The other jab he reacted with a more severe reaction was single polio. And that's something I would have been vaccinated for also.

I think I probably didn't receive any other jabs the same as him and haven't had naturally anything else Iv vaccinated for.

Iv been told it's better to wait till 12 weeks to start the vaccines (but can't confirm or deny or remember why!), and wonder if we increased problems by doing them earlier when it went to 8 weeks and earlier even for some as maternal antibodies were at higher levels and interacting?

Mind you DS was much older when I did his anyway.

Interestingly, if you wait until 3 months (12 weeks) to give the 5 in 1 (pediacel) you only need 2 doses rather than 3. info here
