MP>JK>MP>eliminating environmentally caused polio in the US in the next
MP>JK>MP>5-10 years. Sixty years to eradicate such a disease.
MP>JK>I would encourage parents to find out what that means and also what

MP>JK>frig to make certain it is clean and the temperature is correct?  How
MP>JK>often?
MP>JK>And who checks for the expiration date of the vaccine itself?
MP>JK>These aren't alternative medicine but they are in the area of
MP>JK>assuming personal responsiblity for health care which should go along
MP>JK>with any discussion about any kind of medicine.
MP>Well, Jane, it is nice to find an area where we agree. I am a pretty
MP>good judge of temperature, usually off by a degree or two at most. So,
MP>when my kids received their vaccinations, I did the checking.
MP>Their pediatrician did not mind, and, in fact, encourages it. He shows
MP>the vial to the parents just to let them know that he takes pride in his
MP>work.
You have a doctor that is doing his best.  And such is rare today.
