What are the benefits of an alternative pediatric vaccination schedule?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Less Benefits: Alternative vaccination schedules offer less benefits than they do risks. The recommended schedules have been well researched and studied, and offer the best protection for infants and children against many potentially deadly infectious diseases. These alternative schedules have no scientific basis, and prolong the time until your child will be fully vaccinated.

NONE: Ample research demonstrates that there is no benefit to the alternate schedules.All the claims so far have proven false! and the downside is that the child is susceptible to the diseases for which they have not been immunized and that often they do not receive the vaccines at all.
