Most important thing to note, even if you do feel overwhelmed enough to give your kids the million shots they have on the schedule, just remember that you DO NOT have to give them combo shots. You can absolutely request individual shots and you absolutely need to space them out to give your kid a fighting chance. Again, that is IF you decide that you want to follow these idiot doctors and their suggestions.
Space and time is so important if you’re going to put them through this hell.
And never let them bring in a prefilled shot. If they do, make them toss it and bring in the vile. You need to read things, be informed, understand batch numbers and what exactly it is that’s going in to your kids body. The more you know, the more you may be inclined to reject and protect.
there are doctors who will tell you they are cancelling services and you have to find another doctor if you ask for single dosing! i've seen videos of them bragging about doing this
It’s a red line. I went through this when they threatened to fire me if I didn’t get vaxxed, I knew it was a possibility for our newborn when I saw my sister go through a similar situation in a different location. We were extremely lucky to have a somewhat hesitant but accepting doctor who will ask every time but doesn’t give push back when we tell him what we want. However, if it meant having to find a new doctor then so be it. I know that’s a very cavalier attitude towards it, but at the end of the day it’s a gift to know where your healthcare team stands and what they may or may not try to push on you.
Sadly if one is going to give the shots, combos are the only option. Good luck trying to find individual tetanus, diphtheria, measles, or almost any other vax. It's impossible or next to it.
Safety tests have been done on individual shots but never on combined shots which are up to 8 at a time now.
DTAP yes, but the new DTP shot you absolutely can break up. As far as other combo shots, we’ve never had push back on any request
Sorry not DTP, I think it was Pediarix, combo of like dtap, hib, ipv. There’s a couple of those they push now
