“I’m just curious to know if any of you have a limit.”
30 shots between birth and age - what? 18?
If that’s what the best medical science recommends for kids to avoid life-threatening illness, I’m comfortable with that.
Let me turn it around....on what basis do you recommend a different course of vaccination than that recommended by medical science (recognizing that science changes based on available data) for life-threatening illnesses?
But, as I asked, how many more would you be willing to go along with? Suppose the number reaches 40? Or 50? The point is, everyone has a limit.

I don't recommend a different course of vaccinations, nor do I try to discourage anyone from being vaccinated. People are free to make their own informed medical decisions (as long as they're not denying medical care to a child who actually does have a life-threatening illness or injury).
For the record, I spent the past year as practically a full-time patient myself. My team of doctors is top-notch, and I did almost everything they wanted me to do. But, in the end, this body is mine (as one surgeon pointed out), so I have to weigh the options and make the decisions. Sometimes doctors disagree with each other, and we, the patients, have to decide whose advice to take. Sometimes good doctors are wrong - no one is perfect - and through the years, there have been times my children have been misdiagnosed and/or have received the wrong treatments. So, we as patients and parents need to ask questions because the decisions are ours to make. (BTW, ironically, with the latest change in the vaccine schedule, my kids received all of the shots except for a couple of booster shots, plus a couple of vaccines that were not required until recently, anyway.)
