My son is getting vaccinated tomorrow with his one year shots.
I've googled which ones are normally given, which seems like a really long list. I've also read which ones are "most important". These include: chicken pox, MMR, and PCV (pneumonia).
Does this seem correct in anyone else's experience? Are there any vaccines that mothers commonly request to have administered later on?
My LO has been on a normal vaccine schedule since birth, but I know there are a lot of opinions regarding the amount given at one time so I was curious to hear other's experience.
Thanks!

After watching a number of people in my family have shingles, and seeing how much pain they were in and how long it lasted, I'll give my kid the chicken pox vaccine if only for that reason alone. I got the chicken pox twice as a kid and the second time was horrific. Now I'm just hoping I can avoid getting shingles like every other person in my family seems to, including my cousins in their 20's. If I can avoid DS going through that with a vaccine, that seems like a good deal to me.
