pneumococcal injection

hello,

its me again. my son is due for his pneumococcal injection sometime end of this month which is optional at this time of his age. This jab can be given when he is 1yr old which would be only once. If i opt to do it now, then he has to go for 3 jabs.

how many of you know about the importance of doing it earlier rather than waiting till he is 1yr old. My doc advise was to do it when he is 1yr old.

just being cautious here.

please advise

How old is your son? Would it mean waiting quite a bit longer to do it at one year?

If he has 3 shots he is not only getting more vaccinations but also more of the carrying agent which is full of nasty substances.

Have you seen this thread?

I realize it is probably about MMR more than other vaccinations, but it has some good info.

hello there,

thank you for your reply. my son is 6.5mth old.

My doctor’s advise was to do it when he turns 1yr old which will then be only 1 shot (3 in 1). whereas, if i choose to do earlier then i will have to go 3 diff times to give him the jab.

i can always wait till he turns 1yr old. but i dont know how important it is to do it asap.

anyways, i will browse thru the website you’ve given me.

thank you
