At this point, the new 6 in 1 combo shot has already been tested in thousands of kids. The FDA does not license drugs until they have been thoroughly tested in clinical phase trials in relevant populations.

Why are you beating this dead horse. If you actually knew anything about medical research you would not place it on a pedestal.
Just like the rest of life people take short cuts, get emotionally invested and don’t see clearly. Companies with muscle & a financial interest bury complications. It’s the best we have but it is by no means perfect. So many things which were claimed to be: the best diet, the worst diet, the whole cost benefit analysis of the cholesterol drugs demonstrate clearly that medical science is an art and is often influenced by ego and $ to the detriment of patients and the American people.
Spend a little time investigating the inefficacy of flu vaccine and the great transfer of wealth it represents. Look at Europe and their recommendations re flu vaccine. They think the US is nuts but it’s not nuts it’s the callousness and rapaciousness of Big Pharmy.

Given a choice, you first. I’ll go with a well understood “old way” over being one of the first to try the “new way”.
I’m glad you are going first and will enjoy the vast improvement in health and well being the new vaccine provides before I’m willing to give it to my kids.
