I feel my family has always done much better at fighting it off as well, without any flu vaccine, & that is if we even caught it- many years we were exposed and none of came down with it, which is why I disagree with it myself...and as for our pediatrician, I think she felt she was doing what she felt was the right cboice, knowing I did not agree & knowing I have always opted out of the flu shot for my family, luckily everyone is well now & immune systems really seem to be getting back to normal...we have been seeing a new Dr. in the same office, but after I explained to our new Dr who seemed great what happened..she said they sometimes get comfortable with the families after so many years and may unintentionally over step their bounds- I told ger I don't think that is a good excuse at all...especially when they know you do not normally get it...she said well rest assured it will not happen again..it is in all of your files now, so I thought more about it and searched out a few new Dr's, I am actually going to tour 2 offices this wk...it seems from their reviews they are not so quick to push Pharmaceuticals and tge 2 I am visiting have many reviews about how they were treated naturally, granted they absolutely still white perscriptions- it seems that is not their first choice, will see how it goes!
