My 15 month old is overdue for his one year immunisations and I’m feeling stressed about it. I want him to get them asap (postponed due to illness - his and the nurse’s) because I don’t want him to get sick and he’s in daycare, but also I have anxiety and there is a tiny part of me that worries about autism.
To be clear, I know the MMR stuff has been discredited and the guy struck off. But I have two autistic siblings, one very severely disabled, and there’s a tiny part of me that is fearful. I know it’s in his best interests to have his shots but I wish there was someone who could put my mind at rest. Are there any moms on here who have had a similar experience? I was nervous about the covid jab too but still had two shots of it while pregnant and was fine obviously.
I am not an antivaxxer and do not want to hear from antivaxxers - it’s an anxiety thing and I would just like some kind words to make me feel less worried. Thanks
