Delaying 15 month injections

I delay all imms for my kids, not just the 15month one. Just my personal opinion was that they start them too young anyway but like I said, thats just MY personal opinion.
My youngest son had his 15month imms at 22months old and there is no allergies & no history of reactions or anything but he most definitely had a reaction to those 15month imms. I took him in the afternoon for the jab, sat in the waiting room afterwards for 20minutes & he seemed fine. Took him home & he had an early dinner & off to bed. The next day I could NOT wake him up, he was basically unresponsive to anything I did. He would open his eyes & look at me then drift off within a minute. I let him sleep thinking he was just tired but by lunchtime he hadnt eaten anything or drunk anything and still couldn't really be woken. I rang healthline & was advised to take him to my GP but instead I took him to the local A & E. They couldn't wake him up either and I sat there until 10pm in a little cubicle while the doctor told me it was probably just him teething or some kind of flu. I took him home because they wouldn't do anything. He didnt really have a temperature just wouldn't wake up. I sat by his bed all night praying that he was ok and he woke up the next day at his usual time happy as larry but it was the scariest time in my life and my daughter is due to turn 2 years old in 6 weeks time and I STILL haven't had the 15month imms done because I'm so scared the same thing will happen to her.... Maybe will give it a go when she is 2.5 but I'm not in any hurry and quite seriously considering just skipping the mmr part all together

Nikki, the majority of kids fly through them & there is only a handful of cases ( i think) that react in some way shape or form. Alia flew threw all her imms. Cooper has always got "man flu" afterwards. I just see the logic of his low body weight & reactions to other things as a good reason to delay & space out the imms.

Well we did it. He had MMR, Hib and flu today and in 4 weeks he will have 2nd flu and previnar. He was a star! He yelped a little at the ones in his leg and then cried when they did MMR but only while the needle was in. Then happy as Larry! I had a good talk to the GPs about it all first and the nurse. As you say Kel, most babeis fly through. I figured the small risk of a reaction was smaller than the risk of complications from the diseases. And I have to look at things a bit differently living here. We are 3 hours from a hospital so if there are complications to flu etc....its a long way to travel.
