I Am The Biggest Wussy
I hate shots. Not for myself, necessarily- that’s not a problem. But for my kids. I cannot stand it when they have to have vaccines. I often make my husband take that doctors appointment. In fact, my 4 year old son is about 5 months overdue for his last shot. Bad mommy, I know. Husband is supposed to be scheduling it this week. (hello? husband? you reading this?)
I really try to tell my kids that it’s quick, easy and short. But then things like this come along and mess that up: the HPV vaccine has been causing fainting in teenage girls due to the pain associated with it!
Grrrreeeaaatt. So now I can’t even convince my kids (or myself) that it’s quick, easy and over soon.
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard of the HPV vaccine. It caused a lot of controversy because many people thought it might encourage, or at least give a nod to, sexual activity in teenage girls. (Whatever. So does TV, billboards, books, movies, magazines and their peers. Go back to your family compund.)
If you’d like to discuss the vaccine, be sure to visit our womens forums.

6 of us siblings never got any vaccine…my own kids (ages 8, 10, and 13) never got any vaccine.
my mom had her BCG when she was in grade school and all her life it was painful even with a light tap because of the kelloid that developed. Many of us do have that kelloid genes so we are greatful we never had any vaccine.
God protected us and He is our vaccine.
