would you recommend getting a babys shots done as soon as they are born or when their a couple months?

Answer 1

It's not a matter of recommendation. A baby gets their shots at about 2 months.

Answer 2

The Hepatitis B is what they receive at birth, but it i not necessary. Even the CDC states that babies are only at risk for HepB if the mother has it. So getting the HepB shot at birth is unnecessary. You can delay a few months, a few years, or not vaccinate at all. The best thing to do is research vaccines for yourself and decide what you feel is best for your family.
http://www.909shot.com is a great place to start. Also, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Childhood Vaccinations" By Stephanie Cave is a good book. I personally chose not to vaccinate my children, but if I did I would not vaccinate on the schedule they have now. Most of the vaccines are given to kids when they are too young, their body is not ready to handle them, and when they are not at risk. Also, if delaying, a good idea would be to space them apart and get only 1 at a time. For example, instead of getting the combination MMR vaccines, get the separate Measles, Mumps, and Rubella at separate visits. The above recommended book has suggestions for a delayed schedule, I also know of schedules that recommend not immunizing until 2 years of age.
Research and decide what you feel is right.

Answer 3

Babies need several sets of shots as they grow. They give one in the hospital as a newborn I think but the first set are due I believe at 1 month. Follow your doctor's recommendations for when to get them done!!

Answer 4

I would never recommend them. You'll be shocked if you just look into the anti-shot movement. It's scary as it gets!

It was a very hard decision but we have not given vaccines to any of our 4 children.

Guess what, they still don't have polio or whooping cough. If they get it, and that's IF, you can always give them the vaccine then.

Vaccines are being linked to all types of problems. Please take my advice and research much further. Many MD's back this.

Many vaccines were pushed through the FDA backed by millions of dollars from corporations and putting coporate members on the FDA.

They are in fact very unsafe. Please see the above link.

Answer 5

Yes. It is now recommended for infants to be given Hepatitis B vaccine at birth. Although, it also depends on where you live. In the US, only Hep B is recommended at birth. Most of the other vaccines are started at 2 months. You can check the vaccination schedule with CDC.

Answer 6

I recommend getting them done according to the schedule; vitamin k and hepatitis b at birth, and the others at the appropriate age.

Answer 7

You should follow the doctors recommendations and have the shots according to the schedule. They have reasons for the schedule- to keep the worst diseases away from susceptable youngest ones.

Answer 8

Its not a recommendation...babies don't get tehir first shots till they are 8 weeks old.

Answer 9

i would reccomend not getting them at all! they are starting to find the dangers of these innoculations. do some research before you go along w/conventional wisdom. it's your child's health and future at stake. i didn't have my daughter innoculated 32 years ago. believe me it was not a popular choice and a hard one to make, but i'm so glad, as her immune system is strong and she's healthy as a horse! contrary to popular belief you can put your child in school w/out shots if you sign a form saying it is against your "religion". they don't tell you that, you have to ask. at the very least, do wait a while......

Answer 10

it is a process they get 2 at birth then start about 2 months an get them until they turn a year old then again when they start school
