They keep adding more and more shots to the schedule for more and more diseases.
Now, by the time the child is only 18 months old, he’s had more than 20 shots. And the shots continue after that. No wonder some parents balk at all the shots.
I agree. I also believe that other First world countries do not have near as many mandated vaccines. One example of an unnecessary vaccine motivated by less than stellar reasons is a HepB for infants. Infants of low risk healthy mothers.
I am in favor of vaccines against contagious diseases that contain a high risk of death or permanent disability. But think if possible before boosters are given blood work should be done to see how well a child is still protected.
