There's a lot of discussion among T1 parents about vaccines acting as the trigger for the onset of T1. There's absolutely no proof of this but some parents are sure it's real. I think they just want a reason.

The only vaccine I'm not so keen on is the chicken pox one. It doesn't last forever so at some point you're going to have a lot of adults coming down with it which is supposedly a worse time in your life to get it. Luckily Maddie actually got chicken pox the week before she was supposed to get the shot. Her Pediatrician at the time told me that medically chicken pox don't really pose a problem. But it's the millions of man hours lost by parents who have to stay home with sick kids is what caused the push for a vaccine.
