A Mom Who Grew Up Unvaccinated Said She's Now 'Proud To Vaccinate' Her Own Kids
in some communities, public health officials have said. In response, some parents are now turning to social media to spread information and a pro-vaccine message.
People paid attention: Over the next days, the post was shared into anti-vaccine as well as pro-vaccine Facebook groups, where it got more than 6,000 comments. Other adults who'd missed vaccines as children described catching up on shots and their commitment to vaccinating their kids. Some people thanked her for protecting her children, as well as infants too young to be vaccinated or people with compromised immune systems.
Clint grew up unvaccinated because of her mother's opinions on medicine, which she described as fueled by distrust of doctors. But she kept talking about the issue with others, including her mother-in-law who had rubella. The disease can cause lifelong issues if a pregnant woman passes it onto her child.
The risk of an allergic reaction was tiny, Clint found, especially compared to everyday risks like riding in a car. But she was still hesitant, so she talked to her pediatrician.
