Parents today have many concerns about the well-being of their children. A big concern is which vaccines will be introduced into children's little bodies and the numerous adverse reactions they cause. In our current generation, children are injected with up to 31 vaccines in just their first year of life (CDC, 2015). Such vaccines prevent life-threatening diseases, but parents are often left wondering how many of these vaccines are even necessary. Many vaccines are given in combinations; sometimes three or more vaccines against the disease are given in a single inoculation. There is ongoing clinical research to increase the efficiency of these vaccines by modifying the components of the vaccines, making them very different from those of past generations. Separating these vaccines can make a big difference in how a child's body reacts to the new generation of vaccines. Vaccines can not only be separated from the most common combinations, but they can also be prolonged. Some parents choose to only administer vaccines every six months, others choose to wait to begin vaccinations until their child turns two (Miller, 2014). Parents today have the choice: follow the recommended dosing schedule or extend and separate their children's vaccines. By doing this last step, so that the child's body systems have time to mature, side effects can be reduced and parents will be more willing to vaccinate. Extend and separate childhood vaccinations There are many reasons why parents choose to vaccinate or not. Side effects and fears of permanent adverse reactions are among parents' biggest fears when considering when and how to vaccinate their child.
