Spacing out vaccines? Opinions

Question

I’m a first time mom and I’m getting anxious about giving my baby his vaccines I heard it’s 8 all at once at just 2 months 😪 would it be better to space them out and get only half ? Or do all at once ? I do want to vaccinate him as it’s the better option but all these stories scare me

Answer

My baby will be having her 2 month shots in just a couple weeks, I think there’s maybe 4. It is not better to space them out at all. This is the recommended vaccine schedule based on science. There has been a lot of research put in to decide on the schedule. 
Spacing them out only leaves your child susceptible for longer. 
I know it seems like a lot but please trust that the professionals know what they are doing. They have your child’s best interest at heart just as you do.

Answer

I think it will be 4 shots max and should be in a combo, might also have an oral medicine

Answer

Its 3 shots plus an oral one. However one of the shots is a combo so it is multiple protections at once. Pediatricians follow the recommend guidelines and they are the guidelines for a reason. There has been no benefit proven from spacing out vaccines. In addition, they have improved vaccines greatly so even though theres more shots and protections now theres less "bad stuff" that they get with each one so it's better than when we were kids. Just follow the pediatricians recommendation and ignore the 1 off stories of people trying to scare others. If there were legitimate concerns the recommendations would be changed.

Answer

Wow that’s a lot! Usually it’s one at 4 , 8 , 12 then 12 months etc .. in Australia

Answer

In Australia it’s two injections as one of them is six in one ( diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, hib, hep b) and the other injection is for pneumonia and then they get an oral dose of rotavirus. First vaccines are at 6weeks then 4m, 6m, 12m, 18m and 4years

Answer

Here it's been an oral and three shots. Shes due for her next set in February on my birthday.
