my thought -- better safe than sorry.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I find the following from US CDC website

Why do children need so many shots?

There are 12 potentially serious diseases that vaccines protect against: Measles, Mumps, Rubella (German Measles), Diphtheria, Tetanus (lockjaw), Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Polio, Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib Disease), Hepatitis B, Varicella(Chickenpox), Hepatitis A, and Pneumococcal disease. At least one shot is needed for each of these diseases, and for some of them several doses are required for the best
protection.

This adds up to a lot of shots, and several are usually given at the same time. Some parents worry that it is not safe to give several shots at once, or that they may not work as well, or that they will overload the child's immune system. But studies have shown these fears to be unfounded. Vaccinations are just as safe and just as effective when given together as they are when given separately. The immune system
is exposed to many foreign substances every day, and will not be overburdened by vaccines.

Several "combination vaccines" already exist (such as MMR and DTaP) in which multiple vaccines are given in a single shot, and this reduces the number of shots needed. More combinations are being developed, so in the future, even fewer shots will be needed for the same number of vaccines.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 据说,绝大多数人都得过水痘,并且一般一生只得一次,其中少数人在身体某处留有疤痕,极少人容貌受影响。说明这是一种普通的病,危害不是太大。但出水痘的那几天非常不好受。所以,如果打一针可以保证终生不出水痘,可以考虑。
      • 但据说打完针后的症状就和出水逗差不多---低烧和红胞,与其这样,和出次水痘没什么区别呀.这就是一些人不打的理由.
    • 还是打比较好,虽然贵了点,但是可以少受很多罪。我去年就出水痘(医生说:很少象我这么大还长水痘),一直发烧,折腾了两个星期,很辛苦,结果脸上还留下了一点疤。
    • 我也正想问呢。我的家庭医生也建议在一岁时打,因为BB在DAYCARE,容易传染。我问她有什么副作用,她给我一页法语的说明,晕!
