CAn someone list the live virus vaxes for me, pretty please

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My oldest two are selective delayed vax and the baby medically unvaxed, so I though we were pretty much done, except for boosters for the 3 yo before K. So I have willingly let that info go from my brain However, TX has added some new ones to the school thing this year, and since the 3yo will be in preK he and my oldest would both fall under the newest list. I am not necessarily opposed to all of them, depending on what I can find out about them, BUT I have an almost entirely unvaxed 22m old that cannot receive any further vax due to severe egg allergies. His allergist and ped don't want him to have any (egg or chick embryo containing or not) because of the potential of cross contamination, other reactions, etc. So my other two absolutely cannot receive any live virus ones, even if I was otherwise ok with them, because of the risk to the baby. Clear as mud

Specifc ones that I have to deal with are:

DTaP
Polio (which the injection are all dead, right?)
MMR
Varicella
Meningococcal
Hep A

Additionally, I am considering using a philosophical exemption and just avoiding the whole thing for a year or two for time's sake (I register the 3yo for preK in a few weeks), but would like to start gathering info now. Our selctive plan has to this point not included doing varicella and Hep A, since I don't think either of those are really necessary. I don't know enough about meningococcal to know what I think, and the others they have already gotten so I am ok with the boosters as long as they don't post a risk to the baby.

Thanks!

And the TX exemption is very easy and you can opt out of individual vaxes if you wish.
