I agree that it is just scare mongering. As others have said, vaccinations are never a 100% guarentee that you won't get something, simply reduces the chances and or/severity.]]> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 20:20:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=188475&title=menz-vaccine#188475 <![CDATA[Menz vaccine : And awareness has been promoted...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=188471&title=menz-vaccine#188471 Author: marielb

And awareness has been promoted because of the vaccines too. So maybe the parents took their children to the dr/hospital because they knew the signs.

The main thing to look at is these kids were hospitilised and none died. I don't even think any have lost limbs. So in that way, the vaccine is doing the job. I believe that the drop in serious consequences and deaths is due to the vaccination. Just like nuttymama pointed out.]]> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:58:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=188386&title=menz-vaccine#188386 <![CDATA[Menz vaccine : Yep scare mongering - the media...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187613&title=menz-vaccine#187613 Author: aimeejoy

Totally agree.

They conviently (sp?) left out the stats of how fast the number of confirmed cases of menzb has dropped since rolling out the vaccine and like you said AlyAyde it could be a totally different strain of meningococcal all together.

Yep was gonna say that. The immunisation is against the strain of meningitis that there was a NZ epidemic of, but it is very possible that the children contracted a different strain of meningitis. That's what I'd say happened.]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 17:40:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187496&title=menz-vaccine#187496 <![CDATA[Menz vaccine : i immunised haleigh for it, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187439&title=menz-vaccine#187439 Author: MyMinis

i immunised haleigh for it, and they did say when you got it it doesnt gurantee them not getting it, its like any immunisation they cant guranteee any of them being 100%.
it is scary though, i'd hate for my kids to get it]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 15:53:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187439&title=menz-vaccine#187439 <![CDATA[Menz vaccine : scare mongering really. the article...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187127&title=menz-vaccine#187127 Author: AlyAyde

In all fairness they do state when you do it (well I know they did at school) that your child can still get it but research has found that those immunised generally do not get it as severally as those not immunised.]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 07:02:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187123&title=menz-vaccine#187123 <![CDATA[Menz vaccine : begs the question of whether the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9454&PID=187104&title=menz-vaccine#187104 Author: peanut butter

There's been an outbreak in Wellington: out of 5 kids, 2 had been fully immunised and 3 had been partially or not immunised. What kind of faith is that supposed to instill in NZ parents?
