Amelia Rose & Owen Thomas - 3/29/11
Yes - she is vaccinated
She is in a private preschool and will attend a private K-8. She was never in daycare.
DD #2 - 03.13
Yes and yes.
There was never one second of questioning in my mind. All vaccines, on time.
DS - December 2006
DD - December 2008
Fully vaccinated.
There will be preschool in my kids future.
a) yes, fully vaccinate
b) yes, and many of DD's classmates are not per her teacher. She said more than she had ever seen in 30 years of teaching.
1) yes
2) They have/will go to preschool at age 3, and then public school at age 5.
1) Yes I have vaccinated.
After living in Europe and seeing what the anti-vaccers have done to their young adult children...and the repercussions of the mini-breakouts of the measles, whooping cough (breakout here in my agrigarian part of Germany) and Polio (how effing scary)...I would never NOT vaccinate my child(ren).
NEW measle diagnosos have doubled in France in just 12 months.
2) My daughter is in the public Pre-school program on base and will either go public or private/prochial school depending on where we are living at the time.

@OP yes and yes
@llumine There was an outbreak of measles in a private school nearby. The school is attended primarily by European children whose parents work in the city. All the non-vaccinated children were infected.
a) Yes, or will at her upcoming appointment (she's only 7 weeks old). Did you know whooping cough is now epidemic in parts of Washington State? 10 kids died in California of Whooping Cough in 2010. I will be getting all her vaccinations including Gardasil. I might have skipped chicken pox, but it turns out that DH never got it as a child, and it would be very bad for him to get it now.
b) Baby is in a co-op daycare with 5 other kids. We'll start her out in public schools and see how they are around here.
There is no vaccine against scarlet fever. It is similar to a strep infection. People can be treated with antibiotics. Prior to treatment it was a major cause of death.
ETA: In underdeveloped nations the fatality of rate of measles is 28%. The death rate in immunocompromised people is 30%. Your choice is not a tragedy to you, but it can be to others.
Thats great that it was never an issue for you. But vaccinations don't just protect the person who gets them. Chicken pox may be mild when children get it, but when adults get it it can be debilitating as it turns into Shingles, and if a pregnant woman gets it it can kill her fetus. Herd immunity is very important and every unvaccinated person pokes a hole in that wall.
a)All vaccinations, all on time
b)DD1 is in public school, DD2 is home with me.
Glad that you made it through unscathed. Unfortunately, not every child does, hence the need for vaccinations. Not to mention the value they have towards protecting other who are immunocompromised or who can not get vaccinations. By the way, who is this "we"? Is that every one in Europe? I'm pretty sure there are vaccines in Europe, as well.
