hi, I delayed vaxing J till he was 6 months, he has now had the 2 month injections (at 7m) and the 4 month ones (at 9 m) due for his 6m ones soon.
The Gp I saw at the time was ok with my decision, the Mchn I saw around that time didnt say anything, just looked at me.
But the nurse who actually gave J his vax was a bit of a nutter, she was all set to give him the gastro one when I asked what she was doing, then she was all, oh, he cant have that, he is too old now, duh!
Now he is on what is called a "catch up schedule" from what the nurse said last time we were there they are assuming that once he has his 6 m vax (at 11m) we will then give him the 12 m vax at 12m, well, that wont be happening! she also told me not to worry about waiting the 2 months between vaxing for the first 3 lots! silly woman.
I will be delaying his 12 month vax until 6 months after his 6 month ones, and even then he will not be getting the MMR until he is over 2.
I have spent so many hours trawling the internet and sites like this one, gathering whatever info I could find.
It helps that DP and his father are very much behind me on my decisions with this, as a lot of my family just dont get it, and arent even interested in the whys or why nots, just that im not doing the right thing in their eyes.
Goodluck with your decision, I know how hard it can seem at times.
