Thanks for the reminder on daycares, I need to look up the requirements for the various daycares he will end up at when she decides to go back to college/work.
I'm currently perusing the CDC's website on vaccines and studying up on that. Does anyone have any links to studies about autism (both disproving and attempting to prove that vaccines may cause it)?
If you were sending your child to school do you expect all the children to have all the vaccinations yours has, or do you accept that it is public domain and some children might not and in so doing run the risk of a possible disease running through your school?

First, do your own googling on the autism thing and I'd recommend going to quackwatch.com, I did it when it was time for my sons first vaccinations a few years ago. I don't have the links anymore but basically one poorly done small study showed what might be a link in the UK to autism, but it was pretty throughly trashed. Also the preservative in question is no longer used in any case. I had a doctor friend of mine at the time (DDS) tell me all the vaccination conspiracy horror stories. Got me thinking so I really researched it and decided the negligent thing would be to NOT get him vaccinated. Turns out my friend, who is really a great guy, is also a bit of a loon, and is pretty much against everything as being somehow unhealthy. Nice guy though.
My daughter just got 4 vaccinations a few weeks ago, shes 20weeks or so old. While that might seem extreme, whats more extreme, going multiple visits to the doctors office and EVERY time getting a new shot, or just getting it done with? She was fine after.
Your real problem is that the mother sounds like the type that will read one article from anywhere and then no mountain of AMA evidence will convince her, so goodluck with that.
