Oi Querida - \n\nNo vacinas em Brasil e diferente do nas vacinas em EUA.  E cuando criancas recibe vacinas e diferente tam bem.  Por que voce vivendo em nos Estados Unidos agora, e melhor que voce vacina cuando sua dotor diz (a dois años e no proximo vez a 4).  Eu visite Brasil tudo año e minha filho nuncatem uma problema e ele nao tem nas vacinas do Brasil.\nDesculpe para mi Portuguese, mais eu sou uma Americana quia casado a um Brasileiro :)\n\nFor those that don't speak Portuguese, I basically just explained the difference in immunization time tables....

I am white and American but have eaten raw shell fish in the past and had unprotected sex in the 70's. I have been tested four times due to these factors. I am lucky, my test came back negative but I have not been vaccinated as I do not practice either of those two habits any longer and the shots are not suggested for people with AOPID.

Most people keep their MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinations up to date, and so don't acquire german measles. (at least in the US). However, since it is a viral illness, there is not much she can do. Colloidal oatmeal baths may help reduce the itching. They are usually available in pharmacies in pre-packaged form. (Aveeno makes one that is very nice).\nIf it's been awhile since you've been vaccinated for this, you need to make sure your titer levels are up, or you could catch it from your mom. Measles is heartbreaking to pregnant women, as it can result in fetal malformations or spontaneous abortion.

Children dying and getting the acual disease is very rare. In my state you can't attend school unless your children are immunized. Also Don't forget that whooping cough is going around. Last year My husbands cousin had a baby that died from it. She was too young to get the immunization. I am for it. There is even a shot for chicken pox. I let them give my kids that but now I wish I hadn't. It was optional they didn't have to get it to enter shcool. I thought I would be protecting them but now I wish I hadn't. Some of these diseases can kill your kids I'de rather take my chances with the immunizations.I don't think less of you by the way. Just sharing my experience. Good Luck.

You don't specify his age, but it sounds like he isn't terribly young, having beent o so many counsellors & psychologists ... Have you ever had him tested for brain damage?  There are a number of causes, and the effects are often not obvious.  I suggest that you thoroughly check out this Web site ... There are oodles of articles, & explanations, & lots of encouragement there:\n\nhttp://come-over.to/FASCRC/\nFAS Community Resource Center - Main Index\n\nThese are more specific for older children: http://come-over.to/FASCRC/#behavior\nHow Alcohol Exposure Affects Behavior - Sub Index\n\nFrom what I understand, Alcohol is a major  -- but not the only -- contributor/causer of brain damage.  It is very hard to find a doctor who understands the problem, and recognizes it.  But there are tried & true methods for handling them.  No two individuals are the same.  One may be gifted in an area where another is totally disabled.  Please -- check it out.  Such people need specialized 'programs' to help them deal with life.  You sound like you'd welcome the guidance.\nYou are to be commended for trying to get him help, instead of 'burying your head under the covers'!\n\nPS:   You may also want to check out:\n\nhttp://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/charlie.php\nPediatricians, Brain Fats, Formula, and Raw Milk: the Jig Is Up\n\nhttp://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/autism_mercury.php\nAutism & Mercury -- The San Diego Conference\nhttp://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/autism_vaccines.php\nAutism & Vaccines - by Tim O'Shea\nhttp://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/autismin2003.php\nAutism -- Vaccine Injury or Just Genetics? -- Tim O'Shea

There was a vaccine until about Spring 2002.  It was called LYMErix but was discontinued due to very low sales and possible ineffectiveness.  I guess it wasn't popular enough with doctors!

The child should be potty trained, be able to speak English and has had the necessary immunization shots.

Please, don't put your child's health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your child's mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

It may vary by state.  Check with your states Dept. of Health.  I saw on the news tonight that they now have a vaccine for the Rotavirus that is given between 2 and 6 months of age.  I don't know when they are going to start administering it though.  It is given through drops in the mouth.

yes all three of my children have, they say even though you have the vaccine you can still get it all the vaccine does it make it so the virus will  not be as intense or deadly and will not last as long. So hopefully your child will not run such high fevers or suffer as long as they would if they had not gotten the vaccine.

As the father of an Autistic daughter, I can say with no doubt whatsovever that the MMR vaccination trigered my daughter's Autism. She came out of the Pediatrician's office after receiving this mutiple vaccination and began banging her head on the ground, screaming at the top of her lungs. She screamed and banged her head on the ground for about a year after that vaccination. The Pediatrician said it had nothing to do with the vaccinations... He was a liar. They know and vaccinate anyway. \n\nA child's liver is not even fully developed or capable of handling the 72 plus toxins administered to a child by the the time they are six months of age. Ethical doctors in the past would never vaccinate a child less than six months of age. In addition, a child's brain is not fully developed until they are closeer to two years of age. Pediatricians know their window of time they have with children in their care is limited so they have to begin at birth administering vaccinations and keep every child they can get into their office on the deadly vaccination schedule to make a living.\n\nAt the very least a parent should not give their children any vaccinations until they are at least two years of age but I think that age five would be a better age as most Austism begin before age five. Then consider that most vaccines that are supposedly designed to prevent diseases cause more of the diseases to those who are vaccinated than occurs to those who choose not to vaccinate.\n\nIf you do the least little bit of research about vaccines, you would never abuse! your child with poison but doctors today are not ethical. Who do you think is the least likely to vaccinate their children? Answer: Pediatricians.\n\n\nBecome educated about this issue. You think it will not happen to your child...

Please talk to your child's doctor and/or call the county Health Department for written information on vaccinations . There are also some excellent videos avail....ask them about these.  Do not get your infomation only from "hearsay" sources. People under 50 do not have the memories of the days when children got measles, polio, diptheria..and what the consequences were.  So, please get well-researched, well-documented information.  Go to webmd.com. enter  Vaccinations, children...there are several good articles to read.  It's great that you want to know more and do the right thing for your children.

I got them from you, or you got them from me, either way we both got it from Stephen. I can't believe he's getting married in like 2 weeks!!!\n\nAnd yes, I meant it when I said that I plan on exposing Nicholas to it. I'd rather him get it young and before starting school than get the vaccine and risk getting it again as an adult with all the extra risks that come with it, but also I'll have to consider whether there's another baby around at the time since exposure too young is dangerous.

a minimum of 2 weeks... immunizations have nothing to due with the age a baby can fly... it has to due with the air pressure... I work in labor & delivery.. pt had the same question... she was in california visiting when she gave birth... she wanted to fly back to her home state to give birth there.... but unfortunately was unable to go... instead she stayed in California and delivered here... the earliest the Dr said it was ok for a baby to fly was 2 weeks of age.

If you do not see any side effects count your blessings. We still do not know if that is the reason our 8 year old son (developmentall under 1) Has the problems he has. He is adopted and his mother tested hep B positive at birth so he was given I belive 2 mega hep B vacines plus I think a regular one also.

You don't mention your son's age or why he was given oxycodone.  It is highly addictive.  I would recommend that if your son is a minor, you take the bottle and hand them out to him as needed and by the directions on the bottle.
