more perfect month for it? Everyone's getting ready for school. Parents of young children are headed off to doctor offices; clinics and mobile clinics in a mad rush to do yet another thing to get their little ones ready for school.
Whether to vaccinate is a very hot topic in many countries. Everyone needs to be aware of the facts when making a decision to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. These are you children. They deserve to have their medical care in the hands of well-informed parents. So inform yourself. Get the facts. So where do you start?
First and foremost with all things medical: Consider the source. When gathering facts about health, you must always follow the dollar. Is the information you're receiving coming from a doctor? That doctor receives money for selling those vaccines you know. The pharmaceutical companies give him little "perks" and "benefits" for pushing their product. So please, don't let that be one of your main sources. Always follow the almighty dollar!
So where do we receive unbiased information about vaccines? Some very good non-profit sources are : The National Vaccine Information Center http://www.909shot.com/Default.htm

Try also just typing in a search "truth about vaccines" or "vaccine dangers" or "vaccine risks" .. and if you're stomach can take it.. try "vaccine ingredients". Look up information on vaccines an d mercury; vaccines and autism; vaccines and SIDS. (Did you know that when Japan changed their vaccination policy from beginning at 3 months to starting at 2 years of age, that the SIDS rate dropped by something like 87% that very year? Definitely a scary number. And worse they were avoidable deaths if we only were aware.) So be aware!
There is a wealth of information at your fingertips. All you must do to find it is look. There is no excuse for allowing our children to have medical "care" based on ignorance. We are the parents. We have been given the responsibility to see that our children are healthy and happy. We have the information to meet that responsibility. So if we are to celebrate Vaccine Awareness Month--let's become AWARE!
