Delayed & Selective Vaccination Schedule
This schedule mostly follows Dr. Sears' as set out in "The Vaccine Book". I credit VeggieMommy for the original schedule. We may be tweaking it a bit more...
DTaP - 2,6,12,18 months (booster at 4 years). (Only Daptecel brand with no cow extract and a smaller dose of the pertussis component.) If he has any reaction stronger than a mild fever after any of those, we will stop after whichever shot that caused it.
Prevnar and HIB - 9,12,18,24 months. Same thing as above if he has a reaction...
IPV - 9,12,24 months (booster at 4 years) if we do it. Same thing about a reaction...
Mumps - 12 months (by itself)
Rubella - 2 years (by itself)
Measles - 3 years (by itself)
(boosters at 5 for MMR after titers have been checked)
Hep B (and possibly A)- probably start at 2 1/2
Varicella/Chickenpox - not doing until grade school or older if he doesn't get them on his own
Rotavirus - not doing at all
Flu shot - not doing at all
We will also make sure he is completely healthy before allowing him to have any shots and we will also up his vitamin intake for a few days before and after each one to help give his immune system a boost.
