Sorry I wasnt clear. What I am trying to say is: is there any point in getting titers checked because I am probably not going to vax - even if there are no antibodies.
Yeah I guess I would have the benefit of knowing at least but what I meant is that the presence (or lack of) antibodies probably wouldnt be the deciding factor in whether or not I vax.
Thanks for your suggestion, ICMama.   I would probably also do selective/delayed vaccines if that was available here. As it is, such a choice is not available here; the only choice available is to vaccinate your kid with 4+ vaccines at once - every time.     In fact, one of the main reasons I am hesitant to give them the IPV is that it is a combo shot, with 3 other vaccines. And I would have their titers checked if I were going to go ahead and vaccinate. But is there a...
Thanks keakiepie and everyone for your input. Im a bit frazzled trying to reach such a huge decision.  But if you dont have natural antibodies? Would the cheap version be of any benefit in this OPV madhouse Im currently in?
 The problem is, I am facing that risk. I heard that there is a goal of vaxxing 20 million kids age 20 and under in this region. So what is the greater danger to my kids now? Remain unvaxxed but risk being exposed to the OPV virus from the society, or to just go ahead and receive the IPV (which is very expensive, as opposed to the free OPV - in fact I heard that there are millions of OPV that the vaccine companies cannot get rid of due to the high cost of eliminating...
Thank you so much for your input. I havent yet come to a final decision, still gathering info.   Here is something relevant to the matter at hand for anyone interested:   http://www.occupycorporatism.com/the-shocking-truth-about-syrian-polio-resurgence-regime-change/
There have been ten reported cases of polio in war-torn Syria. Now there is a huge campaign to vaccinate (with the live virus I believe) and give boosters to every child in neighboring Jordan (there are thousands -millions?- of Syrian refugees in Jordan).   My two older kids (6 & 4.5) have been vaccinated against polio while my two younger ones (2.5, 8 mo) have not. I live in Jordan but my kids are homeschooled and their contact with other kids is minimal at...
I live in the Middle East where it's encouraged to eat a lot of dates during the ninth month but especially during labor (tradition has it that when Mary, Jesus' mother, was in the throes of labor, she was driven to the base of a date palm tree and the dates there gave her strength and nourishment for the delivery). So I asked my mw your same question and she said something about dates increasing or strengthening the hormone oxytocin and that it's more important to eat...
What an amazing person. And what amazing lessons she's passed on to you.
Thanks for all the great info, Chapsie and Melany.
