Hi, my lo is due her pre school boosters this month. The MMR & DTAP. I am concerned about having these vaccinations at once it seems a lot in one day. Has anyone else had these concerns or spaced them out or any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I personally had the diptheria etc one first for DS. Would then leave 6 weeks and have the MMR. Personally, got singles for DS, but all the same, 6wks between the diptheria etc and measles.

I had this dilemma a few months ago! I posted about it then. I decided to give DD the MMR and wait before she has the other one. I agree it is a lot to have at once isn't it. DD had MMR about 7 weeks ago and i have yet to make the appointment for the other one. Must do it in the next week or so.

Ive decided i will try and space out DD2's injections too when she is here. I spent DD1's first year racked with worry and guilt over all the vaccinations she had so tiny!
