: Help guys!!!!!
: I am in the middle of a cycle and I have a 6 month old son.
: This is the problem, he just got his polio vaccine booster, plus
: a couple other boosters. Well, vaccines have small amounts of live
: viruses in them to create immunity in a babys body. I was told
: that my son will shit out these live viruses for about a month
: after his shots. The virus is harmless to most people because
: it is in such small quantities but.... I heard old people and
: people with reduced immunities (i.e. the effects that steroids have
: on the immune system during a cycle) should avoid direct contact
: with the baby's feces. Does anyone have any info on this potential
: problem? AND NO I AM NOT JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF CHANGING DIAPERS!!!

Well there is one other basic problem with your comments. They no longer
use ANY live virus with the immunizations. Only the protein shells of dead
virus is used today. (I know this because I help manufacture vacines!)
The days of live virus injections have gone away. You have absolutely
nothing to fear. In addition always remember your immune system, even
while using drugs (roids or pescription) is more protection than your
body usually needs anyway so when its depressed slightly it is still more
than a match for most illnesses. Relax, take care of your kid and change
his diapers now and then or your wife will probably leave you!
