Okay, here's the appointment we've been dreading, at this appointment Sean Patrick begins his vaccinations. The little guy took them like a champ. I held him while the nurse administered the shots and although he cried pretty hard during, he was quiet almost immediately after the last shot. We are on the regular vaccination
schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. We are not on a delayed schedule and we are not skipping any vaccines. Here is what SP received at this appoinment:
-Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellualr Pertussia (DTaP)
-Injectable Polio Vaccine (IPV)
-Hemophilus Influenza type B (HIB)
-Pneumococcus (7-valet) (Prevnar)
-Hepatitis B (Hep B)
-Rotavirus (Rotateq)
Five shots total and one oral vaccine (Rotateq). He had three in his left thigh and two in his right thigh.
Here are Sean Patrick's stats at this appointment: 14lbs, 2oz and 23.75" tall.
