Kindergarten Vaccines with Pregnant mom?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
With our first daughter we did all the vaccines on regular schedule. This time around we are doing things different.

DD (4 1/2) has an appt this week for her check up. And the doc said we could do 1/2 her Kindergarten shots this summer and 1/2 next summer if we wanted to split them up.

Daughter is due for her last chix pox vaccine. She already had the first shot, so I'm thinking no harm in having the second one. And it's mandatory for K here, which she'll start next fall. However, I am 37 weeks pregnant. Is there any danger to me or this baby in letting her have it?

She's also do for her last dose of polio, DTaP and MMR. Again, she's had all the prior ones. These are just the last in the series.

So my concerns are -
Any of these shots pose a risk to me as her mother since I'm pregnant?
Should I wait and do all next summer? Or if I do some now and some next summer - what ones should I do now?

TIA

MMR and Chicken Pox are live vaxes so there is the chance they will shed. If you are going to vax I would advise holding off on those so you don't get the disease or give them to a young baby.

We had an awful experience here with the chicken pox vax...my niece, who lived here, had it and everyone got chicken pox within a few days (week? I don't remember exactly). It might be worth putting off.
