I fully vaccinate my children on schedule with the AAP. They are 21 months and 5 months. I have an acquaintance who doesn't vaccinate at all and she wants our kids to get together to play. I really don't like this idea but I want to know if/what age my children are completely protected from all vaccinable (probably not a word but you get my gist) diseases if that's even possible. Is it okay for my 21 month old vaccinated child to play with her kids with the shots she has received now? At what age would you be comfortable with your kids playing with non-vaxed kids, if ever? I have another friend in a similar dilemma so I'd love to know what you all think.
We were 2 under 2, now 3 under 3!

5/2011 IUI #1 medicated w/injections, 1 follie = BFP!
6/2011 Blighted Ovum/ D&C
9/2011 IUI #2 medicated w/injections, 2 follies = BFP!
But honestly never if it was by choice (vs documented allergy) Not because I think they would never be protected but because people who aren't capable of understanding logical arguments and statistics bug the heck out of me so I wouldn't want to spend any time with someone who doesn't vax by choice.
But then nonvaxers probably wouldn't understand that since they don't seem to understand much of anything about how vaccines, diseases or any of that science of illnesses works
