For or against?
Vaccinations and fears
Among opponents and proponents
Both advertising for vaccinations and campaigns against vaccinations often stir up fear. On both sides, important points made by the other side are often not taken seriously.
I believe that both one-sided support and blind opposition are ill-advised in this context.
It is clear that both diseases and vaccinations have serious risks and benefits. In my opinion, it is important to weigh these up for your own situation, based on the best possible information.
Many people are also unaware of the choices they have when it comes to vaccination decisions. Between “vaccinate everything immediately” and “do not vaccinate at all,” there are various options in terms of the timing of vaccination, the number of vaccines at a vaccination appointment, and the vaccination strategy.
Comprehensive personal counseling that takes into account the current state of medical knowledge, the child’s health, the living situation, and the concerns of both parents is very important to me.
