We took Bryan to get his second sets of immunization shots on Monday. He practically cried only for 5 seconds throughout the entire process. There were 5 different immunizations in three shots. He got poked once on his right leg and twice on his left. Luckily he didn’t suffer any of the possible side effects listed on the immunization chart the hospital gave out.
Shots Bryan received were: Polio, DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis), Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae Type b), Hepatitis B, and finally Pneumococcal.
Years ago, some vaccines containing small amount of mercury were thought to have caused autism. Luckily that’s no longer an issue since the mercury-based compound used to produce those vaccines have been phased out.
