Moms Talk Q&A: Vaccines

Sound-off with our Moms Council about this week's hot topic: do you vaccinate or not and why?

Moms Talk is a new feature on Georgetown Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

Georgetown Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Georgetown.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms and dads take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today:

Vaccines: Whether it's deciding whether or not to vaccinate your baby or debating the merits of the HPV vaccine required of young girls in the District, what do you think about vaccines? What choices have you made for your family? What do you think about people who choose differently?
