Vaccination Question
We already had Logan have some vaccinations. He had one dose of HepB already.
I am second guessing the fact that he had the HepB shot NOW. In reading up a bit more, a more selective schedule of vaccinations doesn't advise it until preteen age for several reasons.
Since DS isn't going to daycare, he is in a private home and the only child, I don't feel so strongly that he needs it considering how it can be transmitted.
We go to the Dr. tomorrow for more vaccinations and I am wondering ahead of time if anyone has ever had a dose of HepB and then chose to hold off. Can that be done?

Re: Vaccination Question
Yes, you absolutely can delay shots after starting. You may find that your pediatrician does not agree or strongly adivises to stick with the recommended schedule but today many people used delayed schedules.

Re: Vaccination Question
My DS is just about 13 mos and we are going to get the first Heb B this month. We delayed it b/c neither I nor DH have hep b so the chances of him getting it up to this point were pretty much nil (he is not in daycare). HOWEVER, since he can get it if he is bitten by another kid who has it we felt that now was a good time to start - hope this helps!

Thanks! That's my reasoning as well.
I just hope it's not too late now since he already had one shot of HepB already! Guess I'll find out this morning!
