Immunizations: There is a lot of contoversy around vaccines and their possible sequelae and side effects. This has led parents to request alternative immunization schedules. There is no studies that support any of this. Vaccinating your child based on tried and true schedules is the way to go, although I am more flexible than most in responding positivel to parents concerns and requests.

Not give as suggestd: A delayed schedule is to delay the vaccines and giv them later than recommended.It is best to give them as rcommnded and approved so they can be protected as soon as possible.Ther is absolutely no advantage in delaying them.
