RP from 3rd Tri - Delayed Vaccination Schedule

mikeandcristina · April 2012

Does anyone have experience with or plan on using a delayed vaccination schedule? I'm a FTM and DH and I have agreed that while LO needs to be vaccinated, we would prefer to use preservative free vaccines and a delayed schedule...

If so, what vaccines are you planning on having your LO get and what is the time frame that they will be given?

Has anyone had experience with vaccine damage using the delayed schedule?

Thanks in advance ladies!

YGPM- and no DD has had no vax damage on this schedule. However many kids do not have any vax damage on the normal schedule as well.

We used the Dr. Sears delayed vaccination schedule with DS and will do it again with this baby. I appreciated that he got most of the vacinations, but didn't have to get too many on any one appointment and we could delay the ones that are not an immediate threat. We also did not mind the need to make a few extra vacine only appointments.

I didn't use a "schedule" my rule was no more than 3 vaccines in one day and no more than 2 needle pokes (some of those crazy vaccines have like 5 in one, which was honestly the most I would do in one visit) Whatever was lagging from the appointment before took presidence over the new ones, so it was kind of a "rolling" schedule. DS is 27 months and has not had the MMR yet. He had a reaction to the chicken pox vaccine so we held off on MMR. He was full term and never hospitalized (if that helps)

I read the Dr. Sears book and used the delayed schedule with DS2. We used the normal schedule with DS1. We never had a reaction to a vaccine, hardly even any fevers.
