  • Gather information regarding the pros and cons of each vaccination.
  • Weigh your own personal beliefs and feelings regarding the risks versus the benefits of each vaccination.
  • Seek out health care practitioners who will agree and comply with your opinions and wishes regarding vaccinations.
  • Recognize that you must live with your decisions. For example, if you choose not to vaccinate for pertussis, are you willing and able to nurse your sick child? Conversely, if your child is one of the few who experiences a side-effect, ranging, in some cases, from minor and transient to fatal, are you prepared to accept the results of your decision?
  • Wait as long as possible to safely administer vaccinations.
  • Ask to have vaccinations administered one at a time, not in the form of multiple vaccines.
  • Make peace with the fact that the decision is a difficult one and that you have made the best and most informed decision possible.
