Which 2-month vaccinations did you get?

[Inertia]

Danni, I was fine with Vaxing until I had Harry. By then NSW heath had adopted Infanrix Hexa as the standard, and at 2 months it is given with Prevenar. When I took Haz for his 2 month vax I asked her what this would cover because I was expecting the DTP, and polio but the name in the blue book had a whole bunch of stuff written. So she rattled off this big long list of virii and I think she was expecting me to be all wide eyed and "wow, thats so cool". I just looked at my tiny little vulnerable baby and asked is it even remotely safe to give him that many diseases at once. Of course they are all attenuated, etc etc and it won't harm him blah blah... But it just didn't feel right. So I said I'd wait.

Sadly the surgeries and CHCs around here only carry the Hexa so he got his first hexa at 2yo and prevanar a month later. Then I waited and we did his second Hexa at 2 and a half with prevanar a month later again. His third Hexa was at 3yo and I caved and got Meningococcal done at the same time because there was a bout of Bacterial Meningitis going around and we had spent all day at the hospital waiting for a Tetanus Immunoglobulin for him with cases of it being carried in past us. He will get his MMR in another 4 months. This way I fell that I have fairly given his body a good 6 months to get over the toxins and virii they have pumped into it at each visit.

No one told me about the objection form so I have forgone the immuniastion allowance from the government to do this - but I would forgo it again for Phoebe because the whole idea of pouring a bunch of chemicals, virii - attenuated or not - and other pointless stuff I wont even buy in food such as MSG and Gelatine, into their bodies at such a young age just does not sit right with me.

Variciella isnt a problem with Harry as he had chicken pox already.

With how I kept him away from the diseases in the interim... its not exactly easy. I had 2 kids going to school for his first year but all they did being home was chicken pox and he only got a mild dose. After that a lot of the really dangerous stuff is extremely rare and so long as I kept people with flus away from him for the first year it wasnt too much stress. I didn't have an overly huge social life anyway, lmao.
