Selective or delayed vaccinations?

I was wondering if anyone else felt that selective or delaying vaccinations was in their best interest? I selective and delayed vax'ing my children because I didnt feel comfortable giving shots to such small young people. I also delayed shots in my pets. Does anyone else do this?

 

Yes, we do. We do not do vaxx's except any required for my husband (he's military, flu shot is required, etc) or for travel reasons (we love to travel!).

But we do not get routine vaxx's in our children or our pets.

 

I don't have children of my own, only my 'furr babies', but I don't get routine vaxx's for them as well. They hardly ever go outside, just the balcony, and it's like putting toxic into your pet time after time. They do get the important shots when they are young, but not on a regular basis after that. The thing is, if you want to insure your pet you need to have routine vaxx's and that's one of the reasons I have never insured them. I don't like the fact that you have no choice what your pet get's injected into his or her body, so I'd rather save money myself in case they need veterinary treatment.

 

My kitties are indoor kitties so I do not get them vaccinated as they do not go outside, and are not in contact with any other cats. You MUST get them vaccinated against rabies though. This is a common sense one, as if you ever get bit or scratched it will give you piece of mind. Also many vets or shelters will not deal with your cat without this vaccine. I would suggest you only get this one, as its not too costly and lasts for 5 years!
