What's there to worry about if your family is vaccinated? You live your life, and let other people live theirs.

All of my six children were vaccinated. Most had no problems except a little fever and crying.

One of my kids had a worse reaction, and the doctor did not give him the last pertussis shot.

Some children do react. Observe them. Vaccines save lives. Do you remember polio?
