Vaccination poll by Today's Parent

I need to do a little rant here - surprise, surprise, it's about vaccinations again.

When I was directed to the Today's Parent Poll to share my opinion about vaccinations, I was expecting to fill out a survey. But instead, I found three choices: for, against, don't know what to do.

Come on!!! When those results get posted, they will be slanted. What about all those parent's who educate themselves and decide that some vaccinations are appropriate while others are not? What about those parent's that realize that sometimes vaccinations are the right choice and that for some kids, they are not?

What's my point? Be careful when you read results from such polls. Make sure that you know what the questions are before you interpret the results.

Choosing whether or not to vaccinate your children is a complex issue. It is not a simple, for or against question.

Yours in health,
