Graduated Vaccine Schedule

Many parents worry about the effects of vaccines. In 2008, 39 percent of parents became educated about vaccinations and refused or delayed vaccines for their children. This compares to just 22 percent in 2003.

The data comes from a telephone survey of the parents of 9,000 toddlers. Many of the parents were worried about whether the vaccines were safe or effective.

I decided to post a Graduated Vaccine Schedule for my readers. I know that I have had issues locating one, so please see below. Keep in mind it's never too late to adjust your infants schedule. 

*** Note this schedule is based off of Dr. Sears' Alternative Vaccine Schedule.***
