3 year old vaccinations
| Fri, 07-10-2009 - 2:12pm |
I have become increasingly concerned through the years about the safety of vaccines, but my DH & I have decided that we will give her the "neccesary" vaccines.
As an infant, we let the hospital vaccinate as normal.

There are no recommended vaccinations at a 3 year checkup most boosters are given at 4-5 (right before entry into public school kindy).
Ditto!
The best thing to do is research the diseases and consider the likelihood that your child may be exposed to each one. You will be surprised with what you learn.
You have already given your baby the one most controversial vaccine, and that's the Hep B. It would be the one right after birth. I wouldn't do boosters to that one for sure. The vaccine wanes very quickly and so do the boosters. In other words, the protection wanes before the child is ever even exposed to Hepatitis B.
After what I went through with the Chicken Pox Vaccine, I can only attest to the fact that its a very bad idea and you may want to ask yourself why young children and teens are getting Shingles these days, a disease that was once only effecting the elderly.
Thanks for all the info guys... I can tell that I've got ALOT of reading to do!
I'm going to try to get a record of all my DD's shots.
