Synagis and 6 month shots

pathfindermon

My DS has his 6 month well visit on Friday. I just received a call from his home health nurse that she is coming tomorrow to give him his synagis. I'm concerned with him getting all of his shots so close together. Has anyone else gotten their synagis shot and all their 6 month shots within 24 hours? Do you think it's to many shots at once? I'm going to ask his pedi but thought I would check with you ladies first.

At one of our appointments, all shots plus the Synagis would have made 6 shots. Our doctor won't give more than 5 at a time. So we held off on one of the vaccines and went back 2 weeks later to get it.

DS is getting his synagis on Thursday and his 6 month shots (plus maybe flu shot ... unless they tell us to wait a week or two) on Friday. i feel so bad for the little guy having to be a pin cushion but remind myself it is for his own good :-(

I think you're fine since A.) Synagis isn't really a vaccine but antibodies for RSV (hence why they have to get it every month) and B.) All the vaccines are inactivated virus (ie, not live).  My daughter gets many of her shots as combos, so she actually only get 3 total shots for each of her monthly shots.  

However, definitely put a call in to your pedi and see what they recommend.

my doctor doesn't like giving the synagis at the same time as their other shots. We usually make separate appointments just for the synagis.
