For moms who spaced out vaccines....

DS is having his 2 mons shots next week. I def am planning to space out his shots. I read Dr Sears book and was thinking of following his schedule but im also thinking i might want to do the DTaP shot all on its own.

Anyway, would you be willing to share how you had your DC vaccinated?

THANKS

Re: For moms who spaced out vaccines....

we really are not following any schedule we just don't let them give him more the two shots at a time i told them thats the max in one visit.. and they agreed i tried to get one but they wouldn't do that for us.

Re: For moms who spaced out vaccines....

same with my peds office 2 shot max. my DS Just had his MMR and chickenpox last week at 22 months I wanted to wait until he was talking

Re: For moms who spaced out vaccines....

My ped. gives two vaccines at the most at one time. I only give 1 vaccine per month.

This was DS #1's schedule. Unfortunately DS #2 is way behind and has only had 1 vaccine so far because he has been sick the past few weeks.

2 mo - Hib
3 mo - DTap
4 mo - Polio
5 mo - Dtap
6 mo - PCV
7 mo - Hib
8 mo - Polio
9 mo - PCV
10 mo - no vaccine he was sick
11 mo - Polio (last booster until at age 4)
12 mo - no vaccine he was sick
13 mo - PCV
14 mo - Dtap
15 mo - PCV
16 mo - Hep B
18 mo - Hep A
27 mo - DTaP (last booster until at age 4)

My DS never got the rotovirus, chickenpox or flu vaccines. I also have not given him the MMR yet. He will most likely get that in a couple of months. I think he still needs a couple more Hep A & B shots but I am not really worried about those. I'll probably ask the dr at his next visit.


ETA: I also spaced out the DTaP vaccine big time. It was the only vaccine DS ever had a reaction too (fever) and it actually concerns me more than the MMR vaccine. DS #2 has gotten his first DTaP vaccine because of it being winter and the threat of pertussis but I will probably skip that for awhile and hit the Polio, PCV and HIB vaccines first.
