The only immunisation jab my kids ever have had is tetanus, I figured we needed it since we are around horses a lot and I hadn't heard of side effects like with the other vaccinations. Both myself and my eldest daughter are now due a booster, my GP warned me there ARE side effects so I checked it out on the internet. And, guess what the side effects are? Brachial plexus neuropathy, paralysis....if I have the jab in my only functioning arm and this happens....!!! Here's a link http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/tetanus.htm
so that's it for me, we are now officially a vaccine free family! The risk may be small, but I'm not willing to gamble my only arm, and the risk of tetanus is pretty small, too.
