All of them.: All are absolutely justifiable. Remember that immunizations don't just help the individual, they prevent the spread of diseases.

Justifiable?: It is a risk-benefit analysis. The benefit of preventing a potentially fatal infection is weighed against potential toxicity. It is like deciding not to walk across a highway with a blindfold on or choosing to cook raw chicken before eating it.

Justified ??: Sounds like a skeptic ignoring the epidemics and losses we suffered to get here. Ben Franklin lost a son to Smallpox & recorded his regret in not vaccinating him due to his own skepticism. As long as there is international air travel & pockets of these diseases around the world,our kids deserve the best protection from them we can develop.
