Two month shots???

Question

So I won't go into the whole story but the doctors office screwed up my daughters appointments and so now she will be getting her two month shots 1 day before she turns 3 months. Is this okay? Will it screw her shot schedule up? Will she still be able to get all her shots? Will they stil be effective? I am just really nervous about all this. I want her to get her shots when she should. Anyone else go through this?

Answer 1

Yeah, one of my daughter's were actually about 6 months behind b/c of other health concerns and they stay on schedule. Don't worry, as long as she gets them.

Answer 2

There is no real reason for giving the shots at 2, 4, etc months.

2 months is just, in theory, the earliest that they can be given. However, in general they give kids an extra round of shots because some babies do not have enough of an immune system to have the first round of shots work. It could be that they will be more effective now.

Also in Japan they do not vaccinate under 1 year of age, and they have lower rates of disease than the US.

Answer 3

I did... I could not get an appointment here for my babies two months shots until she was about three months...I am still going for the four months shots when she is four months and two days old. They will not skip those shots they will just give them to the baby on the same routine they would have if she was not late. I asked them if this was okay and they said it would be fine.

Answer 4

You can rest easy. A lot of children have their shots a little late. Each one of mine I think had their shots late at one time or another due to illness or something. They both turned out to be just fine. The Health Department or Doctors office may adjust the schedule just alittle but it will be fine and go back on schedule later on. My girls are 20 and 14....trust me, it's okay.

Answer 5

Yes, I have gone through this and its fine. She still will be able to get all her shots. The doctors office will just schedule her shots later than the time she is supposed to take them. The shots will still be effective. Don't be nerveous. It happens more often than you think. Good Luck.:)

Answer 6

calm down, relax and have no worries shots are shots it will all work out just fine...it must be your first baby!! i have three...the doctors wont do anything that shouldnt be done...the schedule isnt that important its just a good thing to keep on track but if you are late its not going to change anything other then push you back by a month or so...once again just relax go to the appointment and all will be fine

Answer 7

My son got his 2 month shots at 11 weeks old. The doctor will adjust the timing to 8 weeks apart the soonest. Its ok tho. His next shots are just before 20 weeks old. Its ok.

Answer 8

It should be fine. There has to be 30 days in between shots, but since there typically isn't a 3 month checkup, you should be able to have her 4 month checkup on schedule. It's inconvenient but won't cause any problems.

Answer 9

You are making a whole lot out of nothing. She'll be fine, the shots will be affective, try to get over the new Mother jitters, and rely on your instincts, you'll be way better off not worrying so much!

Answer 10

Yes do not worry they are still as effective everything is ok. At least she is getting her shots. My son was sick for his 1 year shots and we had to post pone them until he was better, but he got them and all was fine. Don't sweat the small stuff. Really.
