Let's see . . . measles, mumps, German measles (rubella?) whooping cough, diphtheria/tetanus, and polio are the childhood vaccines I got. I forget what cocktail they shot us up with in the 1980's Army. What's with the smorgasbord here? And why are infants advised to get hepatitis B shots?

And aren't flu vaccinations for kids only necessary during especially bad outbreaks?

P.S.

The coof fiasco puts CDC in a bad light, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater and reject those vaccines that have been proven effective. The trouble is, there has always been a group of deeply irrational people who believe vaccinations per se are some sort of evil plot to accomplish something or other.

"Anti-vaccinators" have in the past objected to whooping cough and measles vaccinations and opted out, resulting in outbreaks of these nearly extinct diseases.
