I was told by our ped that Addison would be getting a version without thimerosal but when we arrived to get the h1n1 vaccine last week and I double checked they said it actually DID have thimerosal. They weren't able to get the thimerosal free version! I panicked for a moment but in the end my husband and I got the vaccine because death seemed like a worst case worse than autisim. Hope this helps! It is such a personal decision, but we did what seemed right for us!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578777299563079924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100126567446754858.post-61369589947626277232009-11-03T08:10:41.250-06:002009-11-03T08:10:41.250-06:00Okay well after talking with several ppl with smal...Okay well after talking with several ppl with small children I would get it and especially after hearing about so many ppl in comas because of the virus .

I'm sure you will be confident in your choice. We are coming up the the secndd anniversary of diagnosis very soon, Aleksi was just 4 then.

You want to keep him from ANYTHING that might hurt him...I totally know. I fight it all the time! I'm not saying that if you didn't vaccinate, you would be over-protective, but I am saying the extra worry is normal. Sometimes you have to make a decision and not look back. <br /><br />We can worry ourselves to death, anything can happen. Fortunately, most of what we worry about never comes to fruition. <br /><br />We ended up getting them. I hope you come to peace with whatever decision you make. Go with your gut. Either way, it's the right decision for you and your kids.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.com
