Delayed Vaccines - Same 'Schedule'?

We've elected to delay DD2s vaccines, mainly in light of the fact that DD1s developmental delays have no genetic or otherwise medical basis.

How late till the child is put on the 'catch-up' schedule, anyone know?

Would like to start at 6 months and leave 6-8weeks in between each set of jabs.

The HV has finally stepped off.

Don't know what you mean by catch up but here's what we did.
Went with Direct Health 200 and they've been AWFUL for the baby jabs! Think they're only used to doing single MMR.
Well she had dtp+polio at around 4-5-6 months. (4-5 weeks between each one) and then we thought we'd do Hib and Men.c at 9-10-11 ish but they messed up so much (cancelling clinics and giving jabs to other proplr? and bringing wrong onesAngry) that dd has just had her first Men.C at 11 months. As she'll be 13 months when she has the next set, she'll only need her second Men.c and that's it. Also only one Hib i beleive as she's over 1 year.

I went and had a chat to my doctor about this 2 days ago and she was very suprised i'd gone down that route but confirmed that she'll only need 2 Men.C and she's chscking the Hib one but i'm pretty sure she only needs the one now.
She's actually going to try to give them there, said if the H.V has a problem, she'll do it!!

expat, just re-read your message and take it you're giving them all at once but later. Well as far as i'm aware, they say that if a baby is between 6 months and 1 year they only need 2 Men.c. I guess the others will be all the samne as it's combined anyway isn't it?
