Locke: To Vaccinate Or Not

Item: More Idaho parents refusing to vaccinate children/AP

Jennifer Locke: I am curious for those who vaccinate or know of children who follow the full vaccine schedule, how many times has the child been sick (gone to the doctor for treatment), been on antibiotics, do they have any allergies, how many ear infections, do they have any skin issues, any form of learning disabilities, or are on any form of medication? It seems like kids today have a ton of allergies from what I have seen and have had quite a few courses of antibiotics. Do many parents supplement with probiotics, Vitamin D3, C, and Fish oil? What are kids eating too?

Question: Does your family follow the full vaccine schedule?
