Talk to your pediatrician about immunizations. I'm disgusted by the perversion of science that has so many people seeing immunization as a "bad thing". Vaccinations have improved public health more than we can imagine - you don't see many people in "Iron Lung's" anymore for polio - because of vaccination! I can't speak at all to the seizures which is why you should discuss with your physician - but the association between autism and vaccines has been completely exposed as a fraud. My autistic son, now 25, has been vaccinated and get's an annual flu vaccine.

Don't let the timing of events color your judgment - many people have car accidents within a day or two of eating carrots. Do carrots cause car accidents?
