Thanks, everyone.
Well, I don't think I will fully vaccinate, then. Now I just have to figure out which vaccines to do and which not. I guess I will do Hep-A, since we are going to Mexico and the MEA website poll returns only 1%. Hep B I might want to skip.
But there are reasons I'd like to stay with our current clinic. They allow exceptions to their full vax policy for "compromised immune systems, or documented adverse reactions to vaccines." I can't think of any way to prove the compromised immune system. I don't suppose there's any study or report on inheritance of CFS?
The CMO report says
A few case reports have suggested that CFS/ME has occurred
after immunisations, though intercurrent events, including infection, might have
played a part in the disease process. It is biologically plausible that some processes
seen after infections could also occur after immunisations, but this has yet to be
confirmed by a good quality cohort study in the case of CFS/ME. Current advice
to avoid immunisations during infections is designed to avoid such triggering.
and
The familial incidence of CFS/ME is slightly higher than expected,
which suggests that familial factors may play a part in susceptibility.Twin studies
suggest a hereditary component but family environmental factors also may have an
influence.
So neither of those statements get me very far. :-(
