My son is healthy for a 9 1/2 month old. We are going out of the country on November 1st for 1 1/2 month. The last visit to the pediatrian, he got 1 of the 2 flu shots. Since we are leaving sooner than 1 month, the doctor agrees to give him the 2nd shot 19 days after his first flu shot. We haven't gone to the 2nd shot yet, I was just wondering if I should or not. Isn't it supposed to be 1 month apart. Now, he will be getting his second shot 19 days after his first. Is it going to harm him in any way? If not, how come infants were supposed to get 2 flu shots with 1 month apart in the first place. I don't know if I should give him the 2nd shot so soon or I should just get him his 2nd shot when I go oversea?

Please do not mutilate your baby in this way.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at
http://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm
You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

There's a preservative in flu shots that is thought to cause autism, I asked my family doctor about it when it was offered to my kids. I chose not to go through with the shots for my kids because I would rather they were sick a few days then live the rest of their lives sick with a mental problem. Do some research and you will find the same thing I found. Normal baby shots (for mumps and measles) do not have the preservative that flu shots do.

I would ask another doctor. I was told 30 days as well and it takes 2 weeks AFTER the second shot for the shot to become fully effective.

I'm sure it's fine, I would rather give my son the flu shot a little early if flying overseas than waiting til you got home. Planes are dirty, you will be breathing recycled air for a while.
autism isn't a mental problem, it's a developmental disorder. Children with autism should never be thought of as sick. They are wonderful children!

The doctor knows what they are doing. They wouldn't give your child a shot if it wasn't going to work or was going to affect them in a harmful way.
Trust the doctor and get the shot.

I suggest talking to another doctor to see if this is okay, I believe it is alright if your doctor suggests it. It probably wont do much harm.

I suggest you discuss these concerns with your doctor.
