Canadian VS American vaccine schedule

I'm curious and don't know how to read the charts online properly.  I want to see if my suspicions are correct.  And just to beat a long dead and rotting horse...

From birth until 12 mo, how many vaccines (counting combo shots as one shot) has/will your child receive? This is based on the AAP schedule, BTW.

    This is what DS has received as per the Canadian schedule:

    2mo. DTAP/Hib combo, Pneumo conjugate

    4mo. DTAP/Hib combo, Pneumo conjugate

    6 mo. DTAP/Hib combo, Pneumo conjugate

    At 12 mo. he gets the MMR combo and Men-C conjugate

    I didn't include his h1n1 in that either.

    Can I just give a link? Gasp ... your child is not fully vaccinated haha just kidding. US babies have more shots.

    Thanks.  I figured this was the case (less shots here), but never knew for sure.  He gets 2 shots max at each visit.  All the vaccine posts from you folks south of the border always confuse me. :)

    Yep. I was VERY inclined to go with a few other country's vaccination schedule when DH and I were debating on what WE should do. Simply because, the double/triple amount of vaccines for US babies don't seem to really show any difference in population illness than other countries.

    But I caved - we give all on the US list - just at different times.

    Wow.. I don't know if it was just that the vaccines were combined into one shot or not. But DD has never gotten more than 3 shots at an appointment. (That happened at her 4 month.) Usually she just gets two shots, except at her 9 month appointment when she got none.

    I don't have the exact info here, but I can tell you we moved to the US from Canada when DS was just over 2 years old.  I gave his new pedi a copy of his vaccination record and the only shot he didn't have that they do here is hepatits.
