Delays in Receipt of Immunizations in Low-Birth-weight Children
This article address the “concern” that some infants have a delay in receiving their immunizations. Immunizations are a very complicated, difficult issue. I have always been concerned at giving brand new infants with immature immune systems vaccines. Low birth weight infants have enough to deal with without worrying about taxing their immune systems with vaccinations. I am not 100% against vaccinations, but the sheer volume that newborns and infants receive concerns me. Recent articles have shed some light on the type and levels of mercury found in the thimerosal (used as a preservative). Couple that with the infant’s inability to clear mercury from their systems, and the prescription for harm to the nervous system is possible. Parents need to be FULLY informed and make their own personal decisions; NOT mandated by a government notoriously frought with influence from the pharmaceutical firms.
