Get your vaccinations
Or get isolated
OK, I'll be
the Marine at heart. If you get sick taking care of an ill child that you did
not get vaccinated, then I or others will often have to try do the same thing.
Now that is a waste of time in my mind, and perhaps even death will result,
including me. Now that sure seems selfish to me.
If you don't know where to get a
vaccination list, start with your local doctor or a public school list or a
State Department list. A lot of people believe in vaccinations, but enough
don't to where I had better plan on it. And after all, vaccinations are not 100%
full proof given the wide differences in we human beings.
Some obvious examples arise.
How about a flu shot, or an MMR
vaccination as a start point (MMR = measles, mumps, rubella).
The key point is to consider getting
vaccinated, and keeping a record of same, too.
And worse
case, get yourself and the ill person isolated, and keep them as warm and
hydrated as best you can. Being fed and clean comes right after that. And then wait for the body to heal itself, or die
while trying to heal.
Let me be a
Marine again. A healed body or one that
does not get sick can contribute to the cause in the end. An ill person
consumes resources, and if they die still doesn't contribute very well to the
future.
Last, here
is one link to a list of vaccinations: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/vaccines-list.htm
Hopefully,
one might be able to obtain them late (better late than never), though nobody
really knows how things will sort out if times should get hard.
