Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

Sorry but I should have asked this for those who follow the ped's vaccination schedule.

And if your ped only gives 2 at a time, I would assume you go every two weeks then? Or how is it done? Or every month you go in for 2 and rotate the months?

My Ped does 2 shots max per month.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

I only ALLOW 2 shots MAX...I let them do three oNCE, and it was just too much for my little guy. SO yes, everything gets pushed back, but in the end it will all work out. I still with the regular well visit schedule.

My ped does 2 shots. One is a combo shot called Pediatrix which is 3 vaccines in one. Emerson has gone for shots at 2, 3, and 4 months. Her next set of shots will be at 6 months.

Do you mean 2 vaccines, or 2 shots. This time around, my 2 month old got 2 shots that contained I think 5 vaccines total.

My pediatrician will do what the parents request, whether that is one shot at a time or more.....I would NEVER let my child receive four vaccines at once regardless of what the doctor told me....

I know a lot are combos. I just feel bad about sticking DS with needles and him being sore etc.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

My pediatrician does what is recommended by the APA... Chloe got 4 shots at her 6 month...

However, when she was sick last week they put up a notice that if you want to split up any vaccinations they will be charging a $25 charge for each additional visit for splitting up shots on top of your co-pay...

i didn't select either choice. DS usually gets two SHOTS per visit. however my ped has given him the two shots plus an oral vacc - and i have been told that they will give up to three shots per visit (but only if he is not getting an oral vacc as well).

so the max TOTAL vaccinations per visit they will give is three.

I only allow one per visit. It means more dr. appointments but I dont care.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

Two shots at a time, and we went every month until 6 months. Since then, it has been every 3 months.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

My ped only give up to two shots a month and doesn't give the rotovirus one.

We go once a month the 1st year and then once every 3 months the second year.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

my ped gives 2 shots and one oral. the first shot is pentacel which has Diptheria, pertussis, tetanas (dtap), haemophilus, and polio so basically 5 things in one shot

the second shot is Pneumococca

and the oral is for rotavirus

so all in all each visit is 7 things, it's insane!

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

I only let my ped give one shot at a time. We spread them out.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

My pedi does no more than 2 shots per visit. We've never had to go to more visits than necessary - just the ones on thier schedule..... I think they went every month up until 6 months, then 8, 10 months and 1 year. 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 2.5 years, 3, 4, 5 years, etc.

DS#1 had a different Pediatrician when he was first born and had up to four shots at a visit.

I think with our new Pediatrician, the most was three shots.

Re: Sorry another poll ! To those who follow ped's schedule especially, does your ped give 2 or 4 vaccinations per visit?

I follow the pediatrician's schedule. DD got 4 shotsat her 2 montsh and 4 month visite and then 2 at her 6 month visit
