I never thought the question of whether to vaccinate/delay vaccinating/partially vaccinate would be so hard. It is so hard to live with the decisions, whatever they are, knowing that it's my DS that is the one most affected.
DH and I are pretty certain that we want DS to have the whooping cough vaccine (although not necessarily at 2 months, possibly delayed).
The questions we have (and I'm struggling to find the answers to) are:
Can we get the Whooping Cough vaccine as a single vaccine? I'm not yet convinced that we should get the Tetanus or Diptheria vaccines. We'd be happy to pay for the single vaccine it if necessary.
I'd also like to refuse the Hep B vaccine - but can we get the HIB vaccine as a separate one? Still not convinced about this one either (at least, not at this stage).
And the BIG question for those who delay/partially vaccinate...can you tell me your schedules? We've seen Dr Bob's, and Michael (Schmickers) schedules. What about yours? I have no intention of judging your responses, I'm just interested in knowing what others are doing - I hope you can feel safe in sharing, as I know how emotional the topic can be. If you can give your reasons (if there's enough time and space) that would also be appreciated.
