We have decided to vaccinate Ryder, we've discussed options with our Pediatrician, and we have started Ryder on the following "1 Vaccination Per Visit" schedule.
2 Months = DTaP
2.5 Months = PCV
3 Months = Hib
4 Months = DTaP
4.5 Months = PCV
5 Months = Hib
6 Months = DTaPBy limiting his vaccinations to 1 per visit, if Ryder has an adverse reaction to any vaccine we will definitively know which one. We also feel better about his little body having two weeks to assimilate and adjust to each vaccine before another is introduced, and we feel 1 shot per visit is more than enough pain and discomfort for Ryder.
6.5 Months = PCV
7 Months = Hib
Our doctor's office is just a couple of blocks from our home so the increased number of visits isn't a problem for us. Ryder will not even see his doctor during the 2.5, 3, 4.5, 5, 6.5 & 7 month appointments - those will be super short nurse-only visits.
We're not recommending this schedule, I just thought it would be good for a "1 Vaccination Per Visit" schedule to be published since our conservative pediatrician agreed to it, and in our extensive searching for alternatives we didn't find a schedule like this.
Ryder is just 8 weeks old, so this schedule is subject to change. We are considering other vaccinations too ... but as of today this is our plan through month 7.
