    Can't believe we're almost 9 months! Anyways, I just wanted to know if there are typically any immunizations, etc at the 9 month appt? I guess I could just call the pedi and ask, but I was on TS, so I figured I'd just ask you ladies! I haven't had time to read up much on all the shots/autism/etc stuff, so wanted a little time to decide if I wanted to proceed with their shot schedule...

    Thanks!

    Not a typical "shot" appt at 9 months.

    I could be wrong but I thought my dr office said 2, 4 , 6, 9, & 12 month appointment. Maybe not though. No one else is getting shots at 9month appointment.

    No shots. We just did the 9 month appt. on Friday. We were offered the flu shot, though, and took it. I was hoping for thimerosol free, but they didn't have it, so they got the regular one. They need a booster in 4 weeks. We are traveling all over the US in December, so we decided it was smart to do it.

    no shots, but ours had to get blood draw to check for anemia and lead (we live in an old house and i think it is state law here). i think that was worse than shots! :icon_eek: ihope you dohn't have to do that!!! i think they thought they were being mortally wounded. they weren't. :winking0009:
