We do a partial and delayed schedule in our family.

We chose not to take up the rotavirus vaccine for DD2 (DD1 had it) as we felt that the batch that was coming out that year had had too many issues. We also figured that we had the priviledge of living inner city and have access to hospital and good quality healthcare, and we weighed up the risk vs vaccine and for this, felt that it was in our case best to not proceed.

For both girls we have delayed the MMR to have first booster at 4 years and then final at 6 years. This was preceded by consultation with a family-trusted paediatrician in italy when i was pg with DD1 that advised against such a large vaccine at all. I felt uncomfortable about not immunising 100% so we looked up the possibility of delayed schedules...and were pleasantly suprised that they are common and easy to organise.

We did not give the HepB at birth as we felt that with our family circumstances our babies would not be exposed in the interim until they start the full vaccine.

We were not going to vaccinat against the varicella, but our circumstances changed with the arrival of a special needs child in our close group, so opted to have it done.
