Ok, but not all peds do that. Mine did not think it was a big deal either way.

My Ped does age 4 standard. It’s a lot of shots at 4 and only a flu shot at 5.

Not sure what rock OP has been living under.


No, it’s not. It is given as a choice at age 4, but it is not “standard” at age 4. Parents can choose age 4 or 5.

False. Stop spreading misinformation and fear. CDC says ages 4-6. Our pedi gave us the option of age 4 or 5. We went with age 5. You do not need to find a new practice if your pedi doesn’t recommend age 4! SMH.

Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination.

I got a booster last year at age 40. Turns out my immunity was nonexistent even though I was vaccinated as a kid.

There are 4 shots kids need to get to start K in VA.
I split them up, 2 at age 4 and 2 at age 5.

Just a quick PSA:

You can have your 4 year old given the measles vaccine at their 4 year old check up. I wasn’t aware it was an option, and thought I’d share. You can certainly wait till 5, but as there have been some outbreaks, I thought I’d share.
