To Vaccinate, or not to Vaccinate?

I imagine that parent's have been dealing with similar issues for decades. We all want to make the choice that is right for our children, but it is just so dang hard. I have been on both sides of the argument for the H1N1 vaccination. It has been a back and forth struggle for months, and just when I think I have made the right decision, I will read something or talk to someone that forces me to question my decision.
The heat and passion with which this topic is discusses is staggering. I have had many an awkward conversation with friends and strangers alike where I feel embarrassed by my decision. It seems that vaccinations are yet another deciding factor in the ongoing debate on the worthiness of our parenting skills.
For too many reasons to list here, today is the day Mack is getting vaccinated. I am secretly looking forward to not having to go back and forth anymore. It will be done, and hopefully he will be protected.
