If you did an alternate vaccine schedule...

can you please share what you did? How many shots at each visit? How far apart did you spread the shots( 1 week, 2 weeks?)

Did you spread out the follow up dosages for the shots or did you have them done all at once if there was no reaction to the first dosage?

How old was your DC when they received their 1st shot?

I already have a schedule in mind but am curious as to what others have done -- i know this is a touchy subject so no drama please

Re: If you did an alternate vaccine schedule...

I follow a modified version of Dr. Sears book's alternate schedule. He has a selective and alternate schedule. You can find it online or I can email you the schedule if you FM me.

For me, it's 1 shot per visit after DC turned 2. (We tried it at 6 months and he had a bad reaction.) Shots are spaced 6 months apart. Starting vaccinations later also means your DS gets less of them (ie. 1 Prevnar instead of the entire series).

DC goes to daycare so I send them a religious exemption letter so I can continue the vaccination at my own pace.

Good luck!

As of right now Logan gets no more than two vax per visit. Not two shots, but two vax

Skipped Hep B because I see no need for him to receive it at this age

By spreading them out we get have a better idea of what causes a reaction if any occur and he'll actually end up with fewer doses over the first 5-6 years of his life
