Alternative Vaccination Schedule
31/12/08
I’m making the vax post a page on it’s own, due to it’s popularity. THE SEPARATE MMR VAX WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN! SEE DR. SEARS’ SITE HERE FOR INFORMATION! The separate MMR is not available anymore, as of the beginning of 2009. Contact Merck and demand that they service the hundreds of thousands of families that want these vax’s spread out.
We are following a more modified version than Dr. Sears (posted here). My doc has actually moved a few out longer, giving even less at some appointments. My insurance company, by the way, is not charging a co-pay for each appointment.
And we will never give the Rotavirus, Flu, or Chicken Pox vax, and until and unless they perfect the problems with the Gardasil, my daughters won’t get near that one either.
Dr. Bob’s Alternative Vaccine Schedule
2 months – DTaP, Rotavirus
3 months – Pc, HIB
4 months – DTaP, Rotavirus
5 months – Pc, HIB
6 months – DTaP, Rotavirus
7 months – Pc, HIB
9 months – Polio, Flu (Do 2 doses of flu between 6 and 12 months if nearing flu season, then yearly tereafter, up to age 5, as flu season approaches. Try to use only a mercury-free shot. If its not available, don’t get it that year, or get the nasal spray)
12 months – Mumps, Polio
15 months – Pc, HIB
18 months – DTaP, Chickenpox
21 months – Flu
2 years – Rubella, Polio
2 1/2 years – Hep B, Hep A
3 years – Hep B, Masles, Flu
3 1/2 years – Hep B, Hep A
4 years – DTaP, Polio, Flu
5 years – MMR (can group together for this booster)
6 years – Chickenpox
12 years – Tdap, HPV
12 years, 2 months – HPV
13 years – HPV, Meningococcal (once the Meningococcal vaccine is approved for age 2, Dr. Bob will move it there and delay hep B by 6 months)
I must add, as of the spring of 2009, we’ve decided to forego all remaining shots for our youngest. After extensive research, eye-opening studies, and realization that they’re just not necessary, we’ve stopped all of them. I believe Ayla got 2-3 shots in her first six months of life, and we haven’t been back since. We’re just not doing it anymore, we’re not buying into the CDC/WHO/AAP propaganda, the scaremongering media, and mainstream doctors. Good luck in everyone’s decisions for your family’s health!

Pingback by Return of the Separate MMR Vax!!!! « Geriatric Mama’s Rants — May 26, 2009 @ 6:58 pm
I have a question…. I have 4 kids & 3 have all been vaccinated as was suggested… now I had my last baby & had started reading about vacs b/c someone made the comment “you don’t want to know whats in them…” of course I had to find out… so guess what… now my 10 month old baby has only had his shots he got at birth. Now, I do want to get him caught up, BUT each time I planned to take him he had acold or something….. needless to say HE NEEDS HIS SHOTS can some one please help me with a schedule custom to this situation??? Anyother things I need to know…. kind of got paranoid after the fact… thanks in advance. Tammy & Carter

You sound exactly like me. My first three were vaxed “on schedule” and I learned a lot before I took #4.
The CDC has rewritten their site stating that although this is a recommendation, it’s not set in stone and each family needs to work with their doctor to make a schedule that works for them. So the sheer fact that your child hasn’t had his shots isn’t a bad thing – you’re making a different, unique schedule! My now 18 month old hasn’t been to the doc since about 10 months, so even our extended schedule has been drawn out longer, and I’m fine with that. She won’t be getting the MMR for about three years, either – when it will be available for me to purchase separately by Merck again.
I’m not worried – and I don’t think you should be either. The schedule isn’t something that has to be followed. There’s actually no medical reason whatsoever to inundate your baby with so much at once. I would contact your doc, tell him the next time you come in you want one vax (pick one) and then tell him you’ll be back in a couple of months for the next one, etc. etc. My doc doesn’t even charge the co-pay every time when it’s just a vax visit.
I hope this helps. Check out mothering.com if you really want a bunch of varied and expert mom’s opinions on this stuff – those women are the best!
