My own opinion is NO!

When my kids (11 and 12 now) were infants, this vaccine was the only one I recall stating that DEATH was a possible side effect.

That aside... My son did end up getting one at 2mo. I told the nurse no, signed for NO, and he got it anyway...one mad mama!! What happened next was not pretty.

I believe it triggered his Lyme (and other buggies). In a day he had a fever, in 3 days he had gunk in his eyes, and inside of a week he basically quit doing anything.

He went from being a healthy 9lb 7oz 2mo old to being a gray, lethargic, constant infected eyes, diarrhea machine, skeleton of a 3mo old weighing in at barely 9lb. He just looked like death. It was scary.

If you have not already had the vaccine series then yes you should get it. Work places don't usually offer it unless there is some potential exposure.

And of course it is always best to check with your LLMD before making decisions like this.
