Do vaccines make your overall immune system stronger?

Vaccines don’t make your immune system stronger no. Do you track all illnesses of your vaccinated/non vaccinated friends children?

@Payten Track? You clearly don't have any mum friends to write a comment like that

What a strange thing to say, you asked a question and I answered.

They help build immunity against things. They train your immune system to recognise viruses to produce the antibodies to fight them. I have every vaccine for serious illness offered save for flu as I was really ill after having it.

I know some parents who chose not to vaccinate and tbh I haven’t noticed any difference between the kids of the vaccinated vs unvaccinated. They all have flu, gastric infections from nursery. No difference at all. But I have also seen people who vaccinated their children and they began to regress immediately. Went mute and have been nonverbal since. I know about five friends going through this in my neighbourhood

I’m not saying it’s the vaccine causing it but right now there are no answers so I can’t blame anybody who chooses not to vaccinate their children. We all want the best for our children and whatever we do for them comes from a place of love and wanting to give them the best in life.

A vaccine or ‘immunisation’ teaches your immune system to recognise certain illnesses so that if your child comes into contact with them they either don’t get ill or only get a milder version as their body knows what the illness is. But it will not protect against common coughs colds sickness bugs etc (except for rotavirus if vaccine given). So there’s no real correlation. There’s so many other factors like environment, exposure via baby groups, parks, public transport, nursery etc. Do the parents work at a job where they mix with a lot of people and can bring more germs home.
