One less shot and maybe fewer tears is what a new vaccine promises. The FDA approved a new combination vaccine called Vaxelis designed for children ages six weeks to 4-years-old. The FDA says it keeps them from contracting diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B and invasive disease due to haemophilus influenzae type B. Right now infants get three shots to protect them against the six diseases, but with the new vaccine, there will be fewer shots. "You’re getting vaccinated sooner and more effectively at a younger age and hopefully it will be more widely available to everyone, and you’re not going to miss vaccines," explained Dr. Brian Temple with Beansprout Pediatrics in Bee Cave. "When you have multiple different shots there are errors so it’s nice to have it all in one."

Yup. I wouldn’t do this to a kid for all the money in the world. Don’t care who calls me what.
They cannot take it. We spread out the vaccines. I looked up what the Germans and Japanese were doing
I agree with you.

FYI
Indemnify big pharma
+ require every new vaccine they create
................,
= creation of moral hazard
France: 11 required vaccines
Italy: 10 required vaccines
USA: 36 required vaccines and counting
HELL NO, would never allow my almost 4 year old nephew to get that shot..just asking for problems..they can get reactions from it and you would not know which vaccine caused it
Seriously, even pro-vaccine people largely agree that we are shoving too many into kids’ bodies in a short amount of time.
You are all a bunch of Anti-Vaxxer Vaccine Deniers!!!
You should just take you kid in and give them ALL their shots for their whole lifetime in one session including the current flu shot!
I am sure multiple poking of the immune system at once will not cause ANY issue whatsoever at all!!!

Patrick Henry would have been an anti-vaxxer.
Wow! I am pro vaccine, but that is a huge difference. Why?
Bkmrk.
Italy: 10 required vaccines
USA: 36 required vaccines and counting
10 vaccines - required due to some compelling public health argument.
26 vaccines - required because some politician took a payoff to put them on the required list.
The Rick Perry/Gardisil fiasco really opened my eyes on this.

Indeed he would!
Thank you. I know that vaccines are important but throwing all of this at once in a young body can be devastating.
Just ask my cousin.
Thank you, Laplata.
Get six vaccinations at one time and just pray that your immune system isn't currently fighting something more sinister than whatever it is you're vaccinating against, like cancer.
I have a friend who recently volunteered for Night to Shine, the prom for special needs people that is sponsored by Tim Tebow’s foundation.
She was assigned to be with a young African-American man who was badly crippled and could not speak.
His mother said that he was perfectly normal until receiving an immunization at age four.
Just sayin’.
