Vaccination: Do you think it protects your child completely from diseases?

Hiya sreekala, I was reading about the plight of your little Boy and I see he is getting much better now byt the posts I have been reading. Hope you are feeling much better too as well as when Mother and Baby are ill it can be very hard time for you and your Boy too. I don´t know about these Vaccines either they have their good side but I don´t think that they are 100 per cent either. I had Whooping Cough when I was small and had had a Vaccine against it but still got it badly as well so it might be that the Vaccine just did not work as all the others did. Anyway so glad you are both well now and that it stays that way. Have a great Weekend then all of your.xxx

Hello It is very sad that your son have typhoid after vaccination. It is not possible that vaccination protect 100%. In some cases vaccination may be failed. But for it d we can not avoid vaccination. It is not wastage of time or money. I wise speedy recovery of you son. Take care.

Hi Kala, So sorry to hear about your son…we mothers feel so helpless as it is when the kids fall sick and if we have to attend office, its really tough Now to the topic…my feelings towards vaccination is somewhat mixed. Now when I was a baby, I too had my vaccines against polio, TB, diphtheria (I don’t know all of them) and it was a sort of cheap package which was given to all babies in the hospital itself against some common ailments. Of late however, I find many MNC pharmaceutical companies promoting specialized vaccines for almost anything and everything and charging a small fortune for it. Doctors too will scare you into believing that if you don’t vaccinate your child, then you are running the risk of him contacting almost every ailment known to mankind. So what I feel is that vaccination these days has become somewhat of an industry mainly to promote the financial needs of doctors and pharma companies. Its not really the same as going to any govt hospital and getting your child vaccinated at minimum expense (or even free), which everybody can do. What is happening with vaccination is that these days its become another status symbol…the more hi-class paediatrician you take you child to and the more you spend on the vaccines, seems to be a parameter of your spending capacity. I come across quite a few mothers who openly brag about how well protected their child is, without realizing that maybe the doctor has taken them for a ride (as in your case). I believe in old is gold adage…whatever vaccines were prescribed by the good doctors of yesteryears is enough for us, more than that and we are just helping the doctor and pharma companies to get rich while compromising with the natural immunity of our children. About typhoid…sorry, cant give you any tips coz I’ve never faced this till now. But I do believe that simple medicines with a lot of care should be enough to make him well very soon (and to bring our Kala back to us)

Hi Sreekala, since this discussion is made two months ago, i think your son should be fine by now, right... From my own experienced, i think vaccination unable to give a 100% protection to our children. We should always make sure that our children don't eat things that they hold by their dirty hands. Children tends to loves eating with their hands that are dirty, due to playing on the floor without realizing it. Try feed him more fresh fruit juice and let him drink plenty of plain water. Always make sure that all the food are thoroughly cooked and drink are thoroughly boiled before consumed them, to avoid getting typhoid in the future...Hope to hear news from you about your son...

Here in Indonesia, you need to take the same vaccination in several stages, sometimes until 4x depend on the need to get rid of the illness. But you are correct there is no guarantee that people will not get contacted with the same disease even when they got vaccinated. Some doctors would say that it may be caused the improperly given vaccination... they would always have reasons .... Sometimes I think they are only concern with selling the medicines than selling their skills.

I think that vaccinations is not a hundred percent guarantee, I was also vaccinated with all the vaccines there is, for flu for measles, but I had all those too. Vaccines are only a way to prevent, you should also take vitamins with it i guess and visit a physician regularly. i hope your son get well soon

Personally I think the Best thing a person can do is to find out what is really bothering your son, and take care of it, and if you are running a fever of 101 yourself that is not good. You should be in bed taking care of yourself as well, and sounds like there might be a case of a really bad Flu or virus in your household that is attacking more than your son. I would be going back to the doctor getting some answers and having him run some tests even on yourself to get down to the bottom of this and what medications can work for this. Not every vaccine always works on everyone all the time. Sometimes it just weakens the amune system for something else.

Dear friend, It is really sad to know about this situations. I do have seen people in my nearby affected this fever. They had become so tired. Moreover as a mother with kids to look after if affected a small fever would be itself a mess in the house. Regarding vaccination I feel there are lots of duplicate medicines coming up. Those reliable medicine may be got. But it may give a psychological confidence for that person. But may be that vaccine could safeguard from being further worse. Anyhow at times if these kinds of ineffective vaccinations are taken it could give more mess to the effected patients. I wish soon you and yours family members will recover from this and also my prayers and blessing is going on....

Hi sreekala , I hope your son is better now.Blessings.

I think that vaccinations are preventative care. They may still get the illness, but to a lesser extent then it would have been. I think the point of vaccinations is to have a little exposure to the illness so your body has a chance to build up the antibodies against it. I think it also depends on the child. Vaccinations are never 100% but they may help over time.

For me not because the virus is not friendly today they want you to be heart just drink moringga capsule because it has 300 diseases will be cured and Vitamin C sodium ascorbate.

Vaccination is just a temporary way of prevention. It will not totally give a hundred percent guarantees that they will not get the diseases. Hope he will turn alright and recover soon. Take care both of you.

Sree beti I am sorry to hear this, i will pray for your son and break a coconut in temple, once he is ok, well i don't think the vaccines work well, there may be so many reasons, like old, expired stock I had suffered from typhoid 5 years ago, in spite of food restrictions, it came back and i had to take the course of medicines again, it made me too weak and all my hair were lost, i became almost bald.. Take care of him, consult the best doctor, where are you now, guess it is Delhi!!! Thanks for telling us.. kalyani

Let your son recover from his illness

No vaccinations do not protect your child completely from diseases. They are mostly to get money out of people and while some work for awhile many do not or cause other problems. As I child myself I got all the vaccinations. Measles, mumps, rubella, etc. But I still got all those illnesses anyway not once but three times each. My mom was upset asking why. The doctors said I do not build immunity to them like some do. So I got them anyway. Then I had shots for my children and they got the illness of mumps within 3 months after the vaccines. They did not work one son had mumps and measles at the same time. The health department did not believe this and had me take him in and they could not believe what their eyes and tests proved true. They said it is rare but my youngest son did not build immunities either and he has measles more than once since and so have I. So they do not completely protect. In the case of my older sons they said as an excuse there was a super virus that had over ridden the vaccine of mumps. Right. I have not got vaccines since for myself and nor has my husband. I try and avoid people who are sick and eat healthy and drink lots of water and use herbs and natural things. I also know 3 children who had vaccines all boys who ended up with Autism. The government says that vaccines do not cause this but they are paying out millions of dollars for lawsuits that children got autism that showed no signs of it it until after the vaccine and it is traced right to the vaccine but they lie to the public saying how rare it is. It is not rare and autism is increasing in children and the governments do know it causes autism and asbergers disease. They lie.

Hi Sree! I am sorry to hear all about your own condition and little one suffering from typhoid. Few days ago same thing happened with my brother-in-law's daughter who is around 5-6 years old. She too was given vaccination and after a month or so she suffered typhoid. She was treated with medicines and became alright after few days. I think environment has become so deteriorated that we (including children) tend to catch diseases even when we take all kinds of precautions.

Typhoid Fever! It is not just an ordinary sickness so you made the right decision to watch closely. An antibiotic will surely heal him in time. Just keep watching him and follow the doctor's prescription. I really don't know why it happened to him despite the vaccination. I don't know if this is the same thing as smallpox vaccination. Despite vaccination, still the child will get smallpox some time in his life but the good thing is it will not be very severe. I hope this is the same thing with TF vaccination. Nevertheless it gives me the lesson not to trust in the idea that vaccination can really give the child a hundred assurance of being free from the disease. Of course I will also subject the child to vaccination but I will stay cautious all the time. For your son, surely I have already prayed. I'm sure he will be fine. With you by his side, I'm sure he will get well very soon.

I am sorry your son is so ill at the moment; he will certainly be in my prayers. I have heard of several cases when kids have caught illnesses that they were supposedly immunised against and my guess is that vaccines are not one hundred per cent fool proof. I hope your boy has a speedy recovery; the poor little thing...

Sreekala. No.. Vaccination does not completely protect kids from diseases. It would also involve factors like sanitation, stress and sometimes even genes.

They say vaccines do more harm then good. Just look at what the Swine flu vaccine did to those folks who got it during the 2009 Swine Flu scare. You should also look at how the MMR vaccines are making more kids Autistic in the US and Europe. Even if you get the regular flu vaccine, there's a good chance you'll get the flu or something worse. I'm not a mother, but I'd think that maybe you try to give your kids medicinal freeze pops. In the US, they sell them in our Dollar General store. Try to see if you can get some medical freeze pops. They say they can reduce fever, vomiting and other stuff that are happening to your child. You can always place cold, wet rags on your son's forehead to keep him cool. This can also help reduce fever.
