Are there shots at the 2-year checkup?

I know all peds are different, but just wondering if the 2-year checkup includes shots. (I'm assuming it does.) Has anyone had their kids get a flu shot at the same time as other shots?

Their 2-year checkup is in mid-November, so it would be a good time to get the flu shot, but I'm wondering if I risk a worse reaction if they have them all at once?

 

we had shots at 2 yrs old, but i don't remember which ones. our pedi WILL do flu shots at the same time as other vaccines, but I don't think we've ever scheduled it that way. my boys haven't ever had a reaction to the flu vaccines, thank goodness.

 

Yes, I believe there are, but off hand don't remember which ones.

We've never gotten the flu shot the same time as other shots because our ped's office doesn't do flu shots. :angry: So we have to get them from the health dept.

 

The flu shot was given in two parts when we had it. They had one half with their other shots and then I had to bring them back for a nurse visit to get the second round.

We didn't have any shots at 2 years. They had shots at 15 & 18 months. If you had those two appointments and haven't delayed any shots, they should be done until kindergarten.

That's how ours did the flu shot last year (in two parts), but I thought it was because it was their first-ever flu shot.

Our ped doesn't give shots at 15m, but I think we got all of them at 18m. We haven't delayed any intentionally.

I guess I should just call them... I just hate to bother them (I'd rather bother you guys instead ).

 

No shots here for the 2yr WBV. I do have to call the pedi and bring the girls in for their flu shot and see if they are offering it to the parents again this year too.

 

Alden-I just checked our peds vax schedule and they only one we will get at 2 years is the Hep A #2, they both got the first one at 12 months. But that is the only one listed. Has your ped given the Hep A vax to your girls?

 

We didn't have any shots at 2 years. It was a time for missed shots and so they didn't need any. I would think it would be okay for them to get their flu shot at the same time. I would ask your dr.

 

Yes, we got shots at their 2 year visit. I am not sure which ones. We were offered the flu shot but declined since they are not in a daycare environment or around other kids.

 

we had the hep a #2 and also the MMR (because we had elected to delay it until then) at our 2 yr. and if it were me i would def do flu shots at the same time - get 'em all over and done with!

 

We did NOT have shots at 2 yr. visit. We were current with them all already, so it wasn't necessary. I would do the flu shot if available at that time. I would actually like to get ours earlier!!!
