05-2-2009 - Immunizations

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS STRICTLY BASED UPON MY PERSONAL OPINION AND WHAT MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDS. EVERY DOCTOR IS DIFFERENT AS IS EVERY CHILD.

What MY Doctor gives"

At Birth – Hep B

1 Month – Hep B

2 Months – Pentacel, Prevnar, Rotateq

4 Months - Pentacel, Prevnar, Rotateq

6 Months - Pentacel, Prevnar, Rotateq

9 Months - Hep B

12 Months – Prevnar, Hepatitis A, Chicken Pox

15 Months – MMR

18 Months – Pentacel, Hepatitis A

5 Years MMR, DTAP, Polio, Chicken Pox

What I prefer to give: I give everything at its scheduled times except these, I like to spread them out a little more than the dr does. I would like to spread them by about 1 month but if I did that then it would still overlap because there are 3 so I spread them by 2 weeks. In 2 weeks time a child will have any kind of reaction to the shot. There are also some combination vaccines available which i am personally fine with but you do have the option to get them separated out
