Words fail... Little bodies can't take all of that. Why not add in more for the flu, chicken pox and pneumonia while they're at it. There's also an Ebola vaccine so might as well throw that in just in case. Why not dengue fever, Hep A and Hep B, and HPV too?

[JudyinCanada]

Yup. I wouldn’t do this to a kid for all the money in the world. Don’t care who calls me what.

[stanne]

They cannot take it. We spread out the vaccines. I looked up what the Germans and Japanese were doing

[laplata]

I agree with you.

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

[Sarah Barracuda]

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

[Buckeye McFrog]

Seriously, even pro-vaccine people largely agree that we are shoving too many into kids’ bodies in a short amount of time.

[GraceG]

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!!!

The veterinary profession overhauled its recommended vaccination protocol over fears of the ill effects of overvaccination. I wish the medical profession would catch up. Its motto seems to be "any vaccination, at any age, under any circumstances, for any reason."

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.

This is insane

[nickedknack]

I had five shots at one time when I joined my ship in the Philippines — medical malpractice. A couple of days later, I developed a sebaceous cyst in the shoulder the size of a baseball. Sick Bay refused to treat it — more medical malpractice. I cut and drained the cyst myself, no anaesthetic. Still bothers me on occasion, 30+ years later. If five are too much for an adult, six almost certainly are too much for a baby or toddler.

Ever seen a baby die of meningitis? You might not be so tough then

[AppyPappy]

It’s designed for people (women) who can’t stand to hear their child cry. Yes, there are people who won’t vaccinate their kids because it upsets them.

[BlueHorseShoe]

I don’t allow my cats to get required vaccinations without at least a three week interval passing to the second vaccination, if it’s even necessary. And I’m not an anti vaxer. It causes too much trauma on small bodies to inject so many things at once.

[so_real]

I read the comments thus far in the thread. It is refreshing to see that barbs are not being thrown. Perhaps it is safe to assume both pro and anti vaccination proponents agree that spreading vaccinations over time sufficient for the immature immune systems to manage them is much safer for the child.

[grania]

Now we know why there has been so much media hype to demonize those who don't get the Measles vaccination, so the herd will be protected from invader disease.

There has to be a statistical analysis somewhere about what is "acceptable" percentages for death and permanent health issues. This is insane. What's next? Newborns getting a vaccination before they can leave the hospital?

It's a societal situation, too. Maybe if infants and young children weren't spending so much time in crowded daycare and preschool, they wouldn't need all of these vaccinations at such a young age.

[exDemMom]

Children are exposed to thousands of antigens every day. Given this fact, can you explain the scientific basis of your claim that their bodies cannot tolerate the handful of antigens contained in this new combo vaccine?
