I also avoid having them given to him all on the same visit, so a delayed schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664941 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:12:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 664941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Olivia was inconsolable for her 2-month but barely cried for her 4 month, so there's hope! good luck mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664938 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:11:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 664938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she gets 3 injections for 5 vaccines. + rotovirus (oral) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664924 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:05:00 +0000 ladyfingers 664924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's got one combo (3-in-one) and two singles (though I think one of those is a drink?) coming up next week for his 2-month shots.

Any and all vaccines we give will be split up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664848 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 08:44:17 +0000 mamabolt 664848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pedi doesn't stock the combos because so many parents request to delay or separate vaccines. Of course, since we stick to the standard schedule, that means up to 5 sticks at one visit :(. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664835 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 08:38:37 +0000 mrsjyw 664835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly combos, less sticks!

I figure they've been on the market long enough that I shouldn't have to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-combo-vaccines-or-all-separate-vaccines#post-664797 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 08:27:32 +0000 NovBaby1112 664797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At her 2 month appt, LO got a combo vaccine (pentacel) instead of 3 separate shots for a single vaccine. She is getting her 4 month shots tomorrow, and they will probably do the same thing again. At first I thought it was great because less pokes for my little baby! But then I saw this combo was only approved in 2008, so not a long time on the market, and not sure of the side effects....</p> <p>Do your LOs get the combo vaccines or single vaccines? </p>
