GP unfriendly due to non vaccinated child

[Elf]

Our GP is a bit of a git anyway but the last time I went to him about a slight problem I had, he asked me about DD's lack of vaccinations. She hasn't had any because we are in that camp of thinking they are not a good idea. Anyway, he wasn't aggressive but it was the first time I had been challenged by a professional like that. ( DD has never been to see him as we see a homeopath if she as teething probs or whatever). When we get back to England I would like another GP because he is horrible but I wondered if it is possible to find a GP who is sympathetic to the non vaccinating parent as presumably they are all pro. Do any of you have an understanding GP?

My 6 mos baby hasn't had all of hers yet. She started at the correct time but I wanted to separate Meningitis from the others. I was worried when we went away about her not having had anything and my GP told me it would be fine. She's due to have the last jabs in 3 or so weeks and will be 7 months.

sorry, website going slow!

davros - didn't your dd have aP rather than wP as well (or can you now get thimerosil free wP - I keep getting confused on whether its available yet)

Jimjams - would like to know where you found the old vaccine schedule - and when it was used. By my calculations it menas that the schedule was:
4 mths - DTP
7 mths - OPV
9 mths - DTP + OPV
15 mths - DTP + OPV
Is that about right? Would love to know where to find this, cos I want to spread the vaccines out as much as possible next time, and it would be handy to have this as a "discussion point" with my GP.

Also - has anyone read this book ? Is it any good?

Irk! Not sure what aP or wP is but I know that we had ALL thimerosil-free - infanrix, hiberix & menjugate. Does that make sense?

yeah- infanrix is aP (acellular pertussis) I think they want the children back on whole cell pertussis (wP) but I think they may all contain thimerosil. Could be wrong though- that was the siutation a year and half ago- it may hav changed now.

Oakmaiden- I got it from "The all colour guide to First Aid and Family Health" with Dr Trevor Weston MD MRCGP as the consultant editor. Just an old family health book.....

Yeah, they said that aP is less effective but I said More effective than not having it at all and it was OK.

there's not much difference between infanrix and the whole cell anyway in terms of effectiveness.
