She was great at explaining to me what she thought were the most important vaccines and what she thought could be delayed. I strongly suggest that you talk this issue through with your doctor.

With Polio comes the risk of being paralyzed, so I will probably finish the polio series. I would not be able to live with myself if Laney was paralyzed after catching Polio.
