  • DD is getting her MMR/Varicella, DTaP, and IPV. Then when she turns 5 she won't get any

  • We had the option of doing shots at 4 yrs or 5 yrs. We chose 5 yrs. DD did get the flu mist in October, and that was an ordeal itself. I'm hoping by 5 yrs she'll do better.

  • I can't remember them all, but the 4-year-old appointment was AWFUL.  I know there were 5 shots, a finger prick to check iron levels, blood pressure, vision test, hearing test and they had to pee in a cup.  DD#1 did great considering but she was hysterical about the shots.  (The 5 shots did not include the flu shot.  We got the flu mist about 4 or 5 months later.  DD#1 was just so excited she didn't have to have a shot.  She tells everyone to get the mist.)
  • Our doc does them all at 5 yo, provided they start school AFTER turning 5. ;) 

     

  • DS had none, but he seems to be the minority on the Nest (yes, we vax).

    4 year visit was awful!!!  my daughter got 4 and a finger prick.  Thankfully she won't need anymore shots (except the flu) until she's 11.
