kinds of Vaccine my baby needs...
What are the immunizations that my child needs? Are all of them really required?
I heard that 2 shots of Rotavirus is generally given but most moms say that this kind of vaccine isn't really doing much of help. I mean we moms survived not having this kind of vax when we were still babies, right? This vaccine is a sort of an anti-diarrhea. So do all the pediatrician require is indeed a requirement? |
Re: Vaccines
My first child have these completed before reaching her 4th birthday.
BCG Hepatitis B - DTaP Hib Polio (IPV) Pneumococcal (PCV) Influenza (seasonal and H1N1 flu) This is just seasonal Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) Varicella (chicken pox) Hepatitis A Meningococcal (MCV4) HPV |
Re: Vaccines
By the way, the Rotavirus is supposed to be 3 shots, but my daughter only had 2. Her pediatrician says it's ok.

Re: Vaccines
Some vaccines come in 5-in-1s or multiple doses in a single shot so baby doesn't have to suffer those extra 4 shots. You'll also save much availing that. Be prepared that the first year is all about immunization so you gotta have bucks for that aside from the insurance.

Re: Vaccines
Thanks for the responses fellow moms.. :) My OB says we have to be ready for the first 2 years for these immunizations. I need to know the specifics even if it's covered by our insurance.
And Cadelaria, that's indeed fantastic! I don't want my baby to be crying "multiple" times too for those shots... |
Re: Vaccines
This is helpful especially for me that March is really fast approaching. BCG is the first shot my baby's going to have. Also a newborn testing will be done for the next 72 hours after my baby arrives but it isn't really a form of immunization though. But could be very painful for my baby's heel getting pricked. :(

Painful to see them cry when immunized but it's all for their own good. What a good start for training them in the bittersweet aspect of life.... :cool:

You're so right Cadelaria. It is just the beginning. How we wish we could just be there for them all the time, through thick and thin.
