Vaccinating Your Baby

Since the Los Angeles Times reported that the largest U.S. measles outbreak occurred in 2006, news radio reporters have been parroting admonitions by the medical establishment to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate. The irony is that most of the adults infected had been vaccinated during childhood, and got measles nonetheless. Now there’s some rumblings to have yet another MMR vaccine for fear some people will loose immunity over time. News flash: When it comes to vaccinations, one size does not fit all! The human immune system is dynamic– and let’s face it– we doctors haven’t completely figured it out.
