Vaccinations

Micah is coming up on his 18 month well check and I've been alittle nervous about it. At Micah's 12 month well check we started his vaccination schedule with his first shot. We decided that we would only give Micah one vaccination at a time and see if there were any reactions before giving anymore. His first set went well and we saw not adverse reactions. About four weeks later we went back in for another shot; it was the second does of Pc (Pneumococcal Vaccine). Less than 24 hours after the shot was given Micah broke out in horrible hives (which lasted for 10 days, I had to give Benadryl every 4-6 hours or they would pop up again). The doctor decided that we needed to get an allergy test done to make sure that's what was causing the hives. I called my insurance company and they informed me that they wouldn't cover any of this until our deductible was met, which we couldn't afford to do at the time. So we decided that we wouldn't give him anymore of that particular vaccine especially since he'd already had two doses. Now my dilemma is should we try another vaccine again and if we do which one. I bought a book that was recommended by a friend called The Vaccine Book by Dr. Robert W. Sears that goes over each vaccine, what ingredients are contained in them, how prevalent the disease it's protecting against is today, and the pro's and con's of them. Now I just have to decide which vaccine to give him next. I am thankful that we decided to follow the schedule that we chose of giving only one vaccine at a time. It's not for everyone but it has been a blessing in disguise for us.
