Vaccinations are not something that doctors change their mind about, more experience or not.

Nowhere did I say that I was against vaccinations--obviously an educated, savvy parent like ISUKappa seems to be would probably have done enough research to make an informed decision. Doctors may not change their minds about vaccinations--but there's a huge gap between being a "medical student" and being an actual physicia, isn't there?
RE: chicken pox vaccinations, I WISH I would have gotten it, or at least the damned pox in the first place. My mother was creeped out by the idea of my sister and I getting it (we stayed at home with her, so it was easy to limit our exposure to pox-ridden kids), and my sister and I got it at 21 and 15, respectively, and we were both really really sick. I was in Driver's Ed that semester and missed two weeks of school; it also blew my class rank.
