Re: Dr. G's recommended vaccine schedule

[Guest guest]

Hi Listmates,

I was just digging for the vaccine schedule that Dr. Goldberg recommends...

it was posted by him to a mom (on his website) many years ago (I can¹t find

it anywhere now... there used to be a section called ³Ask Dr. Goldberg² back

when there were about 100 members on this list instead of the 2571 there are

now). I don¹t think anything has changed, though, and I thought I¹d post

it (below) for those of you who might be interested.

P.S.

We discussed the Gardasil vaccine with him, and for younger girls, he¹s

wanting to delay it until the vaccine has some more history... it¹s pretty

new.

If you have an older daughter, this is something you may want to discuss

with him.

P.P.S.

Per Dr. G., we did not do the second (booster) MMR vaccine for our son at

the start of kindergarten, as the titers drawn showed that he had immunity.

Every year we have to supply the school with a letter explaining things, but

they have not given any problems about it (in fact the school nurse

apologizes every year when she calls about it).

Our daughter had not gained immunity from her first MMR, so he had us go

ahead and give it her.

" In general (depending upon the child, general health, allergy prevention,

etc.) I would give the DPT /

Polio / Hib (generally OK together) at 2, 4, 6 months old, DPT / Polio

booster at 18 months old (note: still believe in Tylenol or Advil or Motrin

for 24 hrs starting with a dose before heading to the physicians office), I

do not give Hepatitis B in the nursery but generally give it during baby

visits (not at same time as other vaccines). MMR (I do not generally

separate it) can be given 12 15 months old (depending on measles risk in

your area, time of year, etc.) ?? delay a little later (IF no exposure risk

to measles). I am not currently in favor of the chickenpox vaccine before

adolescence and do not recommend the 5 year MMR to any children in the

practice (believe 10 11 yr. old booster far more logical medically).

As I have discussed, the biggest key to lowering the risks for your son, is

good allergy control, dietary eliminations, maintain a healthy not

stressed child (under which circumstances the vaccines are fine too give).

Again please see presentations and discussions on this site for further

discussion. "

I just wanted to throw in (regarding vaccines) that he likes to wait 3-4

weeks between vaccines.

And says to never vaccinate a sick child.
