Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
We delayed but only by a month. He has a very severe allergy to eggs, so he gets his shots at the allergist and I couldn't get an appointment until he was 16 months instead of the normal 15 months that my ped does it at.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
DD is almost 3 and still has not received it. She will get it when she is ready to start school. DS will be 1 in 11 days and I will do the same with him.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
I didn't delay it deliberately - DD was sick for every scheduled well visit and make up appointment last winter. Instead of getting it at 15 months, she got it at 19 months.
She had no reaction, but she's never had any reactions to vaccines.
I hope to be able to delay it with DS because he does react to his vaccines. Even though it's still a long way off, I'm dreading it.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
Charlie got hers at 18m, no delay.
the only vax I delayed was chicken pox bc I didn't want 3 shots at that time.

Same here. She won't give DS more than 2 vaccines at a time anyway (which would be the only reason I would delay).

I did not delay any shots. I trusted my ped that he knew the right thing to do.

I didn't delay. My DS is in daycare - for us, it wasn't worth the risk.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
Our ped normall gives the MMR at the 15 month visit, but I have it delayed to the 18 month visit. I also have it given as only one shot at that visit. I think the official recomendation is to give the vaccine between 15-18 months. I do it within the recommended time frame. Except for MMR DD has had all of her shots. I did the same for DS. He is up to date with all of his shots.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
Did not delay at her 15 month appt. We did however delay the chickenpox vaccine because I did not want to give her that one on the same day as her MMR. We went back 2 months later for the Chickenpox vaccine.

I am delaying until DS starts school. I'm following my own alternate schedule for all vaccines.
Same here. I waited till DS was close to starting nursery school at age 3 before giving the MMR and chicken pox, and gave them at separate appointments. I plan on doing the same for DD.
I did allow 2 shots at one time for other vaccines, with the exception of the DTP-- since that is a "combination" shot like the MMR, I chose not to give any other vaccines with that one.
I do get my children the flu shot too, but only thimerosol free.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
I did but not on purpose. DS was sick when he was supposed to get it, then I changed peds. He also had a very high fever from it so I waited with DD, who also got a very high fever from it.

Re: MMR - did you or didn't you delay?
I did the shots at 2 for johnny, and ry will get his at 18 months.
I had my reasons for the delay with johnny (suspected ASD at 15 months).
My pediatrician was fine with it. She said that if her were in daycare she would have preferred it to be at 18 months, but since i was a SAHM the risk was lower.
Having gone through what I went through with Johnny, i felt better waiting until 18 months with Ry.
