I have spaced mine out as my son was deadly ill in hospital with an infection, pumped with antibiotics at 4/5 weeks old, so when he had his 8 weeks injections he was very very poorly. I spaced out the 3 months injections and gave them at 4 months instead, no adverse reaction at all, no temperature, no pain, I was so surprised. He is having his final lot of injections ( the 4 months ones) this week, and he is 6 months now. For me I preferred to space them out, my GP was absolutely fine with it.

Hi bumpy


my 6 month old had all of the injections at once and at the times they are recommended to have them, aside from his 4 month jabs which he had 2 weeks late as he had a pretty nasty cold. I avoided taking him out the day of the jabs and the day after because he was more tired and clingy than usual, apart from that no side effects.

Yes to immunisation. If people stop immunising then these diseases are going to start becoming common again. If you have to do either then delay rather than not immunise. My daughter had all her jabs at the recommended times and she had no ill effects at all, oh I forgot, one time she had a slight temperature which was brought down with calpol. she has also had her BCG, with no ill effects.
I remember briefly debating the same jabs you're talking about - mainly because my midwife and nct teacher had pointed out (rightly) that it was our decision as parents whether to have them or not. My mum pointed out the gravity of some of the illnesses these vaccines protect against and the penny dropped really, for me, so from then on we've gone with everything (apart from swine flue jab as just haven't had a cold-free moment to do it, and have prioritised the mmr).
Don't want to go into a full on debate, we have had some good threads about this topic in the past, but I do want to vote FOR immunising. Space them out or delay by a few weeks if your child doesn't seem very strong when the jab is due, but otherwise please do it for your child's and your community's sake.
always yes to immunisation. and while, yes, it is a parents right to choose to have them for their children or not, by choosing not to have the jabs you are increasing the risk to others' children as the diseases remain more prevalent. not sure about spacing them out - we had all ours at the recommended times and were fine - bit of a cold/temperature after one of them but was fine within 24 hours.
bumpy i'd ask a health professional, although i don't think that it makes a difference. i think, again only opinion not expert advice, that the idea is that they are fully immune in time for school. the dates are not important to the actual effectiveness, sequence of some yes, but not date of having jab. but i may be totally wrong...

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
