Hellobee Boards

Because of family history we will delay vaccinations a little bit but barring a condition on the part of our lo's we will vaccinate fully. (My sister has an immune disorder and can't receive any but it is important for her health that everyone around her is vaccinated. The delay is to make sure our lo does not have the same condition present at birth)

I am happy to bring lo in for multiple appointments to spread them out. For us the benefits out weigh the risks but I wish there were some well documented studies about doing several vaccinations at once. Unless something changes I will stick with one at a time even if it takes a lot of visits to the doctor.

We'll be having baby get all vaccines on a regular schedule. Non-vaxing really bugs me.

We are vaccinating on the normal schedule. I feel pretty strongly that not vaccinating against communicable diseases is a very risky prospect for the population as a whole. Luckily DD reacted just fine to her first round of vaccines. She was a little cranky the afternoon that she received them, but she was totally fine again by the next morning.

Delay and omit. I suffered a severe adverse vaccine reaction, as have several family members - my poor children are likely to go through similar.

We will immunize on the recommended schedule. I could never forgive myself if my child a) got seriously ill from me not doing everything I could to avoid it (i.e. immunizing) or b) transmitted an illness to an immune compromised child who was unable to be immunized because I didn't do all I could to prevent it.

We have no reason to do anything other than what our pediatrician suggests. Our pediatrician actually will not accept you as a patient if you don't vaccinate or don't use their schedule.

@MsMini: I agree completely.

We will vaccinate.

@MsMini: very well written. Our logic for vaxing on schedule is the same. Often, it's not possible to decouple vaxes and if you don't do them on the schedule, they could be less effective, which is something that could result in more shots.

I do recommend checking titers, though, to confirm immunity. My husband just went through that process as his mother couldn't find his vaccination records from when he was a child.

I plan to vaccinate my children according to schedule.

We will be vaccinating according to the suggested schedule for the saftey of our child and the safety of other children he/she will be around. Actually this reminds me that I keep meaning to call our preferred day care and confirm if they allow unvaccinated children. I am not comfortable with my child spending significant time around unvaccinated children.

@mamamoose: Excellent point! I have to remember to add that to our questionnaire for when we go tour day cares next week!

We will vaccinate at the recommended schedule. I would worry that delaying will make LO hate going to the doctor, because he/she will come to associate the doctor with shots.

we are vaccinating except flu shot and maybe chicken pox
