Vaccinations
Today she received her second round of vaccinations. A few minutes before she got the shots, I gave her a small dose of Tylenol.
The nurse first gave her the second oral dose of Rotavirus, which will help her fight intestinal flu which causes vomitting and diarrhea over the course of a week. Most children get this before they are 2yrs old. Then Addison received 3 shots, these were the same as last time - just the second round.
1 shot contained the Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis vaccines in one leg. The other three shots were for Hepatitus B and HIB in her other leg.
She screamed a whole bunch, I held her right away for a minute before putting her in the car seat, and she calmed down very quickly.
Her next appointment will be for her 6-Month check-up at the beginning of December. At this point (once she is 6mos old) she can get the Flu Shot and the H1N1 Shot. Although, we will be in the height of flu season before she is able to get the flu shots, the pediatrician recommended Tim & I get the shots.
