Alternative vax plan help

Hi, basically I'm looking into what I want ds2 vaxed with, we didnt hep b at birth and I was going to at 2 months but I just don't see the point considering how it is contracted and this got me looking right into all of the vaccines. I didnt get the flu shot while pregnant yet the immunisation schedule says influenzae b but I was certain they weren't giving the flu shot to kids anymore?? Anyway I'm having trouble making heads or tales of what is what with the vaccinations and what I choose to do, I know they tend to give a few in one shot but if I don't want one of them how do I get him vaccinated against the others? Also if I choose not to get it done at the council do I have to pay?

As far as I know, with things like MMR, you can't get them separately in aus.
You don't have to go to the council, a GP can administer them, but not homeopaths etc.
Also, be very care ful if you do choose to go for alternatives like homeopathic vaccinations. They are not nearly as effective as the scheduled ones.
Arm your self with the info, know your risks, and protect your kids accordingly.
I can be a matter of life and death.
Good luck

If you're interested in homeopathic vaccination that could be an option for you

Welcome to Dr Isaac Golden's Natural Immunisation Research

The schedule

Each dot point is a separate needle/oral dose (rotavirus is given orally).

As you can see, influenza is not on the schedule. The Hib vax is not for influenza, it protects against a range of other things. It would probably be worth you clicking all around the site and reading up on each part of the vax and what they cover, so that you're well informed.

Hep B is included in a massive multi-shot injection. Your only alternative to this injection (while still using vaccinations at all) is the DTaP shot. I'm not sure how available it is in Australia but it is on the routine schedule in the states so is very much in production and you should be able to order it.

We are using dr Isaac goldens program if you have any questions please feel free to inbox me.

Meow do you know any information on the vaccine above, it says in your link that it's something that effects children under 2 , my DD is now 3 and has not had the 12 month booster ,as we have been delaying vaccines , would she still need this booster now that she is over 2 ?

I don't know for sure and it would be worth doing more research. It seems it is one of those things that is only worth vaxxing for at a young age as perhaps the risk isn't there when older. Personally I'd be erring on the side of skipping it but I'd call the vaccination information line and ask them exactly what you just asked. Is it just a risk for children under two? I know the rotavirus risk isn't an issue in older children as the potential for a fatality is much less as they grow. The same really for whooping cough. You don't actually need the vaccine when older, except for protecting younger children.

As a side note, I just noticed the DTaP vax is available (with IPV) for 4 year olds. I wonder if you can request this for younger children if you just want to protect against whooping cough, tetanus and polio? We're currently not vaccinating our children as they are both suffering detoxification issues but we would like to vax against tetanus and polio when they're a bit older and we'll be going for this vaccine, plus individual vaccines such as hep B if we travel to high risk areas.
