Child Vaccination Schedule
You have to check this out! This is a schedule of the vaccinations that all children should receive by 24 months, then 4-6 years old, then 11-18 years old.
25 doses are given before 24 months!
4 more doses arr given from 4-6 years old (with an additional 3 recommended for “high risk” children)
2 more doses between 11-18 years old (with another 4 recommended for “high risk” children)
The thing that blows my mind is the 25 doses before 24 months. That’s about one vaccination for every month of life this child has lived. Several of them are given at one time, so it’s not even spread out to be one per month. A child may get up to 6 vaccinations in one visit!
As I have stated in previous posts, I am still not sure where I stand on the vaccination debate. But what does concern me, and why I bring this up, is that these children’s nervous systems are in such important stages of development in the first few years of life. What is the possibility that bombarding the child’s immune/nervous systems with so many vaccines at such a critical time in life, could create some of the more common diagnoses we see today: autism, add, adhd, etc?
By the mid-1980s, there were seven vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella and polio. Because six of these vaccines were combined into two shots (DTP and MMR), and one, the polio vaccine, was given by mouth, children still received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and not more than one shot at a single visit.

How many more vaccines can we come up with to give our children before 2 years old? And how many more nervous system disorders will start to show up? With all the scientific research abilities we have, can’t we find a better way to do this so children have a smoother start to their lives?

In a nutshell, we do see the importance of vaccinations but we insisted on spacing them way out over a period of 3 years as opposed to 24 months! That seemed LUDACRIS! And the majority are given so soon after birth. We also opted out on some that just didn’t seem like a very big deal.
There is a LOT of talk about linking disorders and vaccinations. Much food for thought. I’m ADD( which is why I work with my hands!). Was it the vaccinations or the forceps!!!?
RunninL8, You bring up a few good points here.
First, parents have some say about their child’s vaccinations and the timing of when they receive them. It’s important for them to educate themselves so they can make the best decision for their specific situation.
Second, I believe that birthing interventions also play a huge role in child development. While forceps, suction, and c-sections may be necessary at times, they have a huge impact on the little one being born.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) helps to release the effects of forceps, suction and c-sections from the baby so he/she may start life without huge restrictions in his/her nervous system. Vaccinations are another story.
CST helps to strengthen the immune system and the body’s natural self-correcting and healing abilities. My belief is that if we can keep the baby’s systems as strong as possible, we can give them a chance to not be negatively impacted by so many vaccinations.
