Should you stick to the Center for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommended plan for baby’s shots or go for a modified schedule? Check out what two doctors have to say and decide for yourself.
There’s a demand for alternative schedules. Many new parents feel overwhelmed by the number of vaccines given to young babies today; 24 doses are given in the first year alone. When parents realize the medical establishment is trying to push unnecessary vaccines on them, they begin to question the entire process. The result is that parents simply want to vaccinate more carefully, and be smarter about it, instead of blindly following the system.
There’s a Well-Planned Alternative
The alternative schedule [I outline in The Vaccine Book] is designed to provide infants with only the vaccines that protect against diseases that pose a legitimate threat to them. And it does so in a timely manner, so infants aren’t left unprotected against anything that might pose a risk. It provides on-time protection against whooping cough, rotavirus, Hib disease and pneumococcal disease—four illnesses that can be potentially fatal for infants (although fatalities are extremely rare in the US). The CDC schedule gives these four vaccines at two, four and six months (along with Hep B and Polio). My alternative schedule staggers them: whooping cough and rotavirus at two, four and six months; Hib and pneumococcal at three, five and seven months; Hep B is delayed for a few years; and polio isn’t started until nine months.

Not to mention the lifelong ramifications of being sexually active at too young of an age because you think you are “protected”...
Yes, because there are other STDs to avoid as well.
So your preventatives prevent nothing. Catching it early when it’s “mostly” treatable means some will die.
Behavioral methods address nothing because you can only control your own behavior and your spouse may bring it into the relationship. And it also doesn’t prevent infection via sexual assault.
Vaccination doesn’t cause promiscuity. The logic is specious.
If fear of contracting STDs prevented promiscuity, there would be no STDs.
Not worth mandating to everyone.
They aren’t actually mandated. You can still refuse any and all vaccinations for your children.
The CDC guidelined are mere suggestions.
I actually refused the HepB for my firstborn as the shot was new at that the time.
