I always gave my kids their recommended vaccines without much thought. I have to agree with some of the comments though that the pro-vaccination crowd is getting a little over the top. I do think that Pharmaceutical companies deserve a healthy dose of skepticism. As it stands right now, it seems for all the recommended or mandatory vaccines, the benefits far outweigh the risks, and really that is the only argument that matters. You hear some people talk, and they make it sound like it is impossible that a vaccine will ever have a serious side effect, and you should be ridiculed for even being apprehensive, and I think that is a dangerous attitude as well.
