I would be interested in the orginal article that
prompted this.  

From what I understand very few public schools or daycares
will take a child that has not had the "routine immunizations"
and according to all programs, articles, and doctors I've
ever heard, read or spoken to, diseases like polio, diptheria(sp?)
whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella, are still around,
and a non-immunized child can get them, all of these 
childhood diseases can serious damage if not kill a child.
More so than the immunizations.  I have three normal healthy
childern, and all have had their shots.  I would never have
considered NOT giving them.  In Illinois it is a state
law that any child entering public school or a state licensed
day care must have had routine immunizations for polio, DPT,
(diptheria, pertussis(whooping cough), tetnus(sp?)), plus
the shots for mumps, measles, rubella.

I have heard that in some extreme cases immunizations can 
cause problems but a doctor could give you advice in that 
area.  


The only vaccine not required, to my knowledge, in our part 
of the country, is the one for small pox.
