It seems like from most of what I have read the concern is when the vaccine is administered as a cocktail shot, where they would get one shot for all three. We, up to this point, had planned to do the shots individually spaced out over a few months span starting at 12 months and going up to 15 months. I am just curious, if you're delaying, how are you planning to delay? Doing separate shots over a longer span, or doing the cocktail shot at a later age? Or another way?

I'm not sure which route I'm going with this. I know for a fact Zoe won't be getting it at her 12 month baby check. I'm really leaning towards her not getting it at all.

My 3 oldest got the combo at 12 months. I had done some research on vax's when Danica was born and was trying to decide how to do her's. I was going to do hers seperately. each one on it's own 3 months apart starting at 12 months.

I wont boost my daughter for it due to the severe reaction she had and switched Drs because DD's dr really pushed me into doing the full shot. I personally know of people that wait and when they do wait till they are closer to preschool age. If not then yes spread them out!

We actually got Ava's today and it was one dose. She goes back at 15 months. I wasn't going to get it but decided to go ahead and get it.

We were going to do it in three separate doses when the time came but then decided to not give him the shot at all.

We just gave Brock the Measles vaccine. Not sure if I'm going to do the rest of it. It was his first shot, at 18 months. We're doing one at a time for all the shots.

Bailey will get all shots on time. Measels,mumps, or rubella isnt something I want to put her at risk for.
