Our pedi gives the option of getting immunizations at either the 4 or 5 y.o. well visit. If you had a choice, which would you pick?
I have thought all along that we would just do them at 5 yrs, but now I am wondering if it will just be worse when they're a year older.
Re: S/O Shots at 4 yr or 5 yr well visit?
We didn't have a choice. Reid just had his at his 5 year appt. This morning. He got the normal 4 plus a flu shot.
In my opinion the year in age didnt really make a difference. He would have had the same reaction to 5 shots last year at age 4. He was frightened but now that we are home he seems to be doing ok. He also had a vision and hearing test.
Luckily, we do not need to have another bog amount of shots until middle school, thank goodness.
I also had a sick appt for Grace while we were there and she got 2 shots and an oral steroid for croup.
It hasn't been fun in this house today!
Ugh. That doesn't like a good morning at all. I feel bad for all of you!
Our pedi did them this year, she said "might as well get it over with"
and so, we did!
my pedi said we could do them all at 4yr or 5yr or split them up,
we split them up.
This. I figured why not, why wait another year when we could just do it then. It sucked but it is going to suck regardless!

ours does them at 5. If I had the choice? I'd probably wait-I like to put off the inevitable.
aside-I totally remember getting shots right before kindergarten and how much they HURT.
