Spreading out babies vaccine schedule?

Question

Is it possible to spread out the shots, I dont want my newborn to get vaccinated all at once. I think five shots for a two month old of five different vaccines is dangerous. one vaccine that is for three deseases.

I was wondering if it is even possible to spread out the shots. What the schedule might look like, and how long to wait before each shot.

what vaccinations should I do first?

thanks for your help. *crosses fingers and hopes a pediatrician is online.*

Answer 1

There is a selective and delayed vaccination board that may be helpful to you.  Here is the link:

http://mothering.com/discussions/forumdi... There are a ton of people on that board who can answer your questions.  There is a "sticky" at the top of the page with various vaccination schedules that people have done.

There is also a general vaccinations board on mothering.com

And a board for people who have decided on no vaccinations at all.

Good for your baby that you are researching this!  There are also vaccine exemptions for school and childcare. http://mothering.com/discussions/showthr...

Answer 4

The World Health Organization has done extensive research, and vaccines are given in such a way as to be as beneficial and safe for your baby.  Babies receive vaccines based on when the passive immunity from the placenta has essentially run out.  It is perfectly safe for infants to receive multiple injections, and often less traumatizing if done in one visit.  The best bet is to be informed about the risk/benefit profile, and follow the schedule.  Many people do not remember when diseases like Polio, Measles, and Pertussis (Whooping Cough) were more common, and infants and children were very ill and faced long-term consequences because of the diseases.  Vaccinations have helped make our children healthier.

While you can spread out the shots, that schedule should be worked out with your individual pediatrician.
