Our biggest was because they're not truly necessary and they don't really work. Add that to my son having allergies and it was a no-brainer!

They do most certainly work. One of the ways they work is that they protect the entire population. One kid who catches the disease can infect hundreds. But if everybody is vaccinated the virus won't spread.

I suggest you do a little research before blindly believing what you're told. :) Especially when your doctor is getting a kickback from the vax manufacturers. http://www.haciendapub.com/article36.html http://www.healthy.net/asp/templates/article.asp?PageType=Article&ID=539 Do Vaccines Work and are They Safe? http://www.vernoncoleman.com/vaccines.htm 1.
