Just curious about who suggested starting all over again. Alex's 
immunologist said that she wouldn't re-immunise him for the failed 
immunisations as it could be detrimental. Given her reputation I accepted 
that and didn't ask why it could be detrimental - however if there is 
another thought on this out there I am more than happy to hear it.......... 
like I said its my own personal paranoia.

BTW Alex's hep shots only gave him minimal immunity as well. Hep shots are 
not routine for kids here however I had them given to Alex as an "at risk" 
child given his frequent hospitalisations.
