Immunizations being done late- Is it ok?

Is this true?

I just tried to make an appt. for DD's 8 month next month and the pedi is booked until July!  Someone just told me that if it's late the immunization is basically ineffective.  When her daughter applied for a masters program they had to give her a complete shot again because of this.

    No. Its okay. People do alternate scheduling and their children are just fine. its when people try to push them up that causes problems.

    what?! No, getting them late doesn't make them ineffective!

    They can wear off though. Depends on the person. I've had to get the MMR 3 times in the past 5 years because I kept wearing off. I knew because they tested me before TTC DD1, then when I got PG w/ DD2. The rubella part just does not stick w/ me!

    I am sure it will be fine. My pedi has an immunization clinic and we went in and got shots on schedule then did the well baby check 6 weeks later when they could fit her in. Not sure if you have that option?

    No, the same thing has happened to us before. At first I was really worried, but the doctor assured me it's okay. =) Not to worry.

    It's fine. There's one I got as an adult (hep A I think) that you had to get the 2nd shot within a certain time frame or you had to redo it, but most vaccines aren't like that.

    There is at least one, rotavirus, I think, that has to be done by a certain age.
