To Vaccinate or not?

For those convinced that vaccines can cause autism, the sad case of a Georgia girl, daughter of a doctor and lawyer, seems like clear-cut evidence. The government has agreed to pay the girl's family for injury caused by vaccines. The 9-year-old girl, Hannah Poling, had an underlying condition that may have been worsened, triggering her autism-like symptoms.

Her parents believe it was the five simultaneous vaccines she got as a toddler in one day eight years ago that did it. Government scientists say something like a fever or infection could have set off the problem -- but they didn't rule out the vaccines either. Rest of the story @ link

What ever the actual reason maybe, it def is a concern when getting multiple vaccinations especially when an infant is trying to catch up on missed ones. Pays to get them when they are due and pray that your child is not the one exception to the many benefits of these vaccines.
