I've struggled with this, too, with the Hepatitis B vaccine. My older two had
the first two shots in the series (and seemed to tolerate it well) and are due
for the third (they didn't have it when they were younger because it wasn't
required then), and I'm very uneasy. My youngest is four and will be due for
some vaccines this summer. I want to print out some of the posts about the
vaccine from this list and show them to our pediatrician and see what he
says. It's hard to know how to weigh the risks. I wonder if someone got TM as
a result of a flu shot if they would've gotten TM as a result of the flu under
the same conditions?
