There is nothing wrong with delaying it until you get your head sorted out on it. In the meantime you can lodge a conscientious objection form which will put things right iwth centerlink - this doesn't mean that you are committed to not vaxxing anymore - it just buys you time so it doesn't affect your payments. All I can suggest to you is to read, read and do some more reading. Reading anything you can get your hands on - from BOTH sides of the issue. I will not tell you to not do it, but i will suggest that you delay it until you have it clear in your mind how you want to move forward with it, because once its done it can't be undone. I also suggest you look at gut health and see if that is an issue for your boy. Personally I've done both. I was very much pro vaccination and then i started reading and now I'm not against, it, but I'm against it for my children. My eldest 2 are fully vaccinated according to their schedules with the addition of varicella as it was not on the schedule for them at the time. My third was vaccinated until her 4yo ones which she never had as she had pneumonia at the time and her immune system was already so weak and compromised only a moron would think it was a good idea to go ahead with it. My youngest has only been vaccinated to 6 months. I would much rather that he was not vaccinated at all, but i was still struggling with the decision to stop. after he started solids at 6 months he was having some quite significant reactions to preservatives in foods (sulphates was the worst one) and because of the ingredients in the vaccinations I did not want to risk any further issues. MMR was not a concern, although I will admit that the thought was in my mind. SO anyway long story short none of my children will have a vaccination again. If they decide that when they are able to make the decision for themselves as adults then they can do what they please.
You also cannot get a separate tetanus vaccine. it is a combination one and even the vaccine they give adults is not a stand alone tetanus vaccine.
