[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a super needle phobic kid so I passed on it in middle school.  I told her I would give her as long as I could, but that she would be getting the vaccine series before college.  She was ready for it the summer before senior year and she had to get three shots instead of two because she waited so long to start the series, but she is finished with it now.  [/quote]

You want to get it before 15, other wise it’s three shots vs two. DD got her first dose at ten and second at eleven. No side effects. [/quote]

How long between doses do you have to wait? DD is 12. At last appt her ped wanted her to get it. I declined because DD gets a reaction everytime she is vax which requires some sort of treatment or return to the doctor to "watch her." Since we're in a pandemic I rather not be at a doctor's office unless I have to. So, I'd like to wait until this pandemic is neutralized and community spread is not so high. Who knows when that will be, but my kid may be 14 by then. Could I do 14 and then 15?[/quote]

Dr said if we waited until 14 that it was best to come back within six months rather than wait a year.

Could you do at 13 and then at 14? She'll likely have a well visit at 13, right?

I think just ask your doctor what your options are.[/quote]
