How far to space vaccines (teen)- time sensitive!

My son is due for a booster on one meningitis vaccine and a first of a second meningitis vaccine (which has a second dose a month later I think)
For those that space vaccines, would you give these 2 shots at the same time or separately? If separate, how long do I wait between them?

Probably asking a professional who can get behind spacing vaccinations is the way to go as opposed to asking random women on a website for their uneducated opinion.

No professional can recommend spacing or they will lose professional license.

The rule is the bigger the space the better.

Are you sure you must do both?

Many schools and camps will accept with one and youcan do second one whenever.

This is the booster to the 12 yr one. But there is now a second type of meningitis shot they also want to give. I think I'll go with just the booster for now and then give the 2nd type after some time. How much time should I wait is the question? A couple months? I will tell them I'm not comfortable giving more than 1 shot at a time. I think they'll listen.

I don't know about two different types of meningitis shots. We give one at age 12 and same thing again at 16.

There's a new one on the list now for older teens

As long as possible.

I haven't heard about a second meningitis shot. You might want to find out if it's mandatory for school attendance in your state. If it isn't, skip it.

Can you say which state you are in? I have a bad feeling about something here, but I don't want to say it before you confirm which state you are in.

Can you check for titers? Would that be enough to avoid the booster?

I asked the dr and he said no, because you dont know exactly when they'll lose the titers so even if he has now, doesn't mean it will be there in a few months. etc.

The longer you wait the better. I’d want at least 1 month in between, with lots of detox support.

OK thanks. I was thinking immune support, I gave him a multivitamin. What else should I give? What's detox support?

waiting a month or two or ten before pulling the trigger on the gun in russian roulette.... you're STILL playing russian roulette. MANY people are FINE getting one vaccine or a few together. Those who die from a vaccine or are permanently disabled--- it can happen when they're babies or it can happen when they're teens. If you don't feel right about it, trust your intuition and just don't do it. There are states in which you are not required to vaccinate in order to enroll your child in school. Are you afraid of meningitis? Or are you afraid of the list of side effects from the vaccine? That's up to you and your child. Personally I don't vaccinate. Am I risking meningitis? Yes. Am I also risking it if I give the vaccine? Also yes.

Nonsense in tomato juice.

Just give vitamin c and d.

It is not mandatory for school

In fact, only one dose of the one your kid already had is mandated for school, so I do not understand why you would want to give a booster.

In addition, there is no second meningitis even listed on this list. The CDC does have another meningitis listed https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/s......html
but as you can tell from the key

Quote:

children not at increased risk may get the vaccine if they wish after speaking to a provider.

From you OP you seem to be hesitant about the vaccines. If you want them, go for them, but if you're looking to get away with the least possible, you should insist on skipping this one altogether. Your doctor is pushing every last one on the CDC schedule. Most parents who are vaccine-hesitant only give the ones required for school.

Detox support are things that open the detox pathways like magnesium, Epsom salt, glutathione, methylated b vitamins, melatonin, and antioxidants like whole food c, vitamin e, fish oil. Liver support like castor oil packs, milk thistle, liver life or liver lover from bioray are a good idea. Silica like biosil or Fiji water is good for mopping up aluminum. Ledum palsutre is a good homeopathic remedy in such a situation.

Be careful with immune support, you do NOT want to boost the immune system after vaccines. Also, avoid chlorine and tylenol.
