My child has some, but not all, vaccines suggested. For example, she is not vaccinated against rotavirus, chicken pox, or hep b. She is nine now. When she was 3, I asked her pediatrician if there was still mercury in the vaccine. She said no, that had been phased out. On the next visit, I requested the ingredient list. When I read the ingredient list, mercury was still in the vaccine. I was shocked and upset that her pediatrician was not educated about what was in the vaccines, and lied out of ignorance. There have been a long, long list of OPPS in the medical community, only to be admitted years too late after much suffering on the part of patients.
