I have the added burden of having a very small window of deciding whether or not to immunize my son before he becomes sexually active, something that's not always completely planned out. I know first hand the very real risks of a bad vaccine reaction, remembering what my son looked like, 2 years old, grand mal seizure, after grand mal seizure, turning blue. You'll have to forgive me for leaving no stone unturned in an effort to best protect my family. I don't judge others for seeing these as easy choices, I hope I am not judged because this is yet another tough decision we are being forced by circumstances to address.
