I think the parent comment was implying she was not going to vaccinate until they saw risk, unrelated to CDC recommendation. Many people put off vaccines beyond what the CDC or other health agencies recommend because of misinformation that has been spread.

I don't actually know what's recommended. I was just taken aback by her "we're not sure we're going to vaccinate the child" as if that was somehow optional. At least I got her to agree to listen to a doctor about the risks.
