    Same as before, but with the flu shot added in if you opt for that.  Nothing should be new.

    My LO did.  It's the rotavirus vaccine.

    It depends on which Rotavirus vaccine you got.  One of them requires 2 doses and the other requires 3.  My LO got the 3-dose vaccine, but had a bad reaction to the 2nd dose, so the pedi decided to skip the 3rd dose for her.

    Gotcha, thanks. I noticed on the CDC recommended schedule the Hep B "window" starts at 6 months and the polio is also in a recommended window starting at 6 months.

    Mine too. It was the same shots as the four month appointment, w/ the flu shot added in. 

    props to having a good doctor not imposing upon your baby the vaccine after a bad reaction, seems rare these days

    Ours was the same as the 2 month shots, which included a Hep B booster.

    I wasn't very comfortable with the rotavirus vaccine in the first place because it is a live vaccine.  It was so scary seeing my LO vomit repeatedly and then dry-heave because she had emptied her belly.  I realize this was a mild form of what can actually happen if a child gets the virus, but I wish I'd have researched that one a little more.  I do love my Pedi.  No matter what he'd have said, I wouldn't have given her the next dose, but it was good that he agreed with me.  props to having a good doctor not imposing upon your baby the vaccine after a bad reaction, seems rare these days
