what are peoples experiences with vaccination scheduales in first year??

maureen1984

Just had the first check up with doctor and he said he was going to get 2 shots.. I said flat out no i would only allow one... so he showed me the math and what is required within the first year and it ads up to 17 shots now i dont think they are full vaccines because he said he needs 3 HIBs and 3 something else and something else... i know i would like them spread out... but I also frequent alternative new sites and im sure you guys know of the green vaccine movement and parents with children with autism swear it was from vaccines... i just want to hear some experiences and what is required by law in your state.... i live in New York and this is my wifes account i Just am very involved when it comes to the vaccinations cause of my fears even if they came from disinfo... thanks in advance for any replies..

We are sticking with the regular vaccination schedule.

There are no laws in CA regarding vaccinations; they are not required to enroll your child in public school.  You can have them administered in any pattern you wish.

This I don't think there is a law in any state. They also say that pitocin is linked to Autism. Really considering 90% of kids get these vaccines and only 1% of kids have autism we will stick to the regular schedule.

We considered doing the alternate schedule and spacing them out but stuck with the regular sched instead. She got 3 injections and one oral vax at her 2 month appt and the crying was over in 30 seconds. I don't believe the autism claim. Good luck with your choice!

Yes but what are your "REGULAR" schedules? How many shots within the first year?...

my nephew has autism and I do not belive the vac. claims. I plan to go with the reg sch. I talked to the dr. about my fears and he said they follow the amer. acad of ped. standards and how the claims aren't founded.

We are sticking with the standard schedule.  They get full vaccines even if they get them 3 times.  It takes that many doses to build up a immunity in the blood for those certain diseases.  Here is a link to the CDC's website.  Plug in your child's brithday and it will give you the recommended dates for all the vaccines your child should receive in the first year.  If you choose to vary the schedule, that is up to you and your pedi.

But again what are the regular schedules you are being told? How many actual shots within a year???

we're on a delayed/alternative schedule. Mainly Dr. Sears' schedule minus 2 or 3 vacc. that I dont agree with I'm in NC and we can sign moral/religious waivers on them and the kids are still allowed in school, but I plan on the boys getting all the required ones just not as quickly as the guidelines request. PLUS I am also thinking of homeschooling through 3rd or 4th grade so that also changes things for us.

They cannot be enrolled in school if they do not have the certain required vaccines and some daycare as well

You're worried about 2 shots for the first vaccination? That's not bad.

They are "full vaccines". Some vaccines, such as HepB, have to be given in a series over time.

I am not aware there are state requirements. The AAP has guidelines for scheduling vaccines, and most drs follow them.

My dr said he would follow our lead in terms of vaccinating. He said he has the gamut of patients, from those who follow the standard schedule to those who don't vaccinate at all. He also has certain vaccines he won't give unless requested (eg, HepA), as he feels they are not life-threatening diseases.

He gave us the option of a delayed schedule, where DD will be done with her full complement of shots at 1 year instead of 6 months. We're going with that schedule.

ETA: I see you've asked multiple times how many shots. You can't go by that, as some shots contain multiple vaccines: Pentacel (one shot) vaccinates against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and Hib. MMR vaccinates against measles, mumps, and rubella.

DD will get 2 shots at 2 months: Pentacel and her first HepB booster. She'll get her Pneumococcus shot at 4 months instead of 2, but won't get her third HepB booster until at least 6 months.

Check any AAP-related website or just google vaccine schedules and you'll see what is standard.
