Immunization Presentation

Why do so many Ashland parents opt their children out from the 11 recommended standard childhood immunizations? The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) was concerned enough to send federal representatives here on January 10 to host a public forum.

"I was out of town and regrettably missed the event, but I have talked to parents who attended the CDC forum who still have many unanswered questions" said local naturopathic physician Kate Naumes.

As part of their Four Seasons Wellness Program, Dr. Bonnie Nedrow, ND and Dr. Kate Naumes, ND are hosting a presentation on the subject, Wednesday March 11, 6:30 — 8:30 p.m. at Hidden Springs, located behind the Daily Tidings.

"I have been working with parents for years to help them become more informed about the risks of vaccine preventable diseases, other ways to help improve immunity and the potential problems associated with vaccinating their children. As a physician, I feel uncomfortable when parents make a choice to either exempt from vaccines or choose to vaccinate simply because they are afraid and have not made an informed choice" said Ashland naturopath Bonnie Nedrow.

The debate over the relative benefits and risks of immunizations is a hot topic in Ashland. According to Jackson County health department statistics, across Oregon, 3.7 percent of kindergartners had exemptions during 2007, while 28.1 percent of Ashland kindergartners were exempt.

Julie Freed, mother of a 13-year-old daughter, chose to inform herself about the pros and cons of vaccinations. After extensive research she chose to wait until her daughter was 6 years old to receive the tetanus vaccination.

"I feel strongly that parents need to know that they have a choice with the schedule and number of vaccinations recommended. I am not against all vaccinations, what I am against is being told that I do not have a choice in the health care of my child. It is so important to take the time to educate ourselves on both sides of the issue and make an informed decision."

"Dr. Nedrow and I would like to talk about the pros, the cons, and the unknowns rather than taking a firm position ourselves on this issue. We want to open up a community discussion so that parents can hear other parent's concerns. I believe that it is important to consider each child as a unique individual. When I see patients in my office, I help parents make educated and empowered decisions regarding vaccinations" Naumes said.

Naumes and Nedrow plan to go over preparations, dosing schedule, contraindications, and adverse reactions to vaccines included in the recommended childhood immunization schedule. They will also talk about naturopathic immune support and recommendations for alternative scheduling of vaccinations that may provide healthy options for families.

The cost of the presentation is $15, $5 for additional family members, and children under ten are free. Babysitting is available for a fee. Seating is limited. Call Hidden Springs at 488-8858 to reserve a seat.
