This is not to creat a debate, simply asking for the schedule you are following, IF you are following an alterntive vaccination schedule.

We go for the 2 month shots on monday- just curious.

thank you.

    We did DTaP at 2 months and Pneumo and HepB 3 weeks later. We are doing it because I am allergic to the DTap shot but I like splitting it up, it has 4 vaccines in it.

    We skipped Rotavirus because we wouldn't make the age limit.

    Ours is similar to Dr. Sears, except I added in the Polio at 2 months, 4 months and sometime later which I can't remember off hand :) I added it earlier because she had to have the first portion of it before starting day care by state law. It still follows the guidelines of no more than 2 shots in a visit because rotovirus is oral.

    Also, we will not do the chicken pox at all unless she has not had it by the time she starts kindergarden.

    We only did HIB at 2 months.  I wanted to see how he would tolerate one shot and picked one of the more benign shots.  At 3 months, we did DTP (they actually don't give the DTAP anymore) because there was a whooping cough outbreak here.  At 4 months we will do Pc and HIB.  5 months DTP, 6 months Pc and HIB, 7 mo DTP, 8 mo PC, 9 mo Polio.  We will be foregoing all other vaccines for now.
