It was never up for debate. Our son was going to be immunized. It was not because we were thinking of others – although protecting the people around us was a nice bonus. He was going to be immunized because we were selfish. We wanted to protect him from those terrible childhood diseases that we had either experienced, or had witnessed through others.
