As a parent, you want to do everything you can to protect your child’s health. Vaccinations are an important part of that effort, but they can also be a source of anxiety and concern. One question that many parents have is whether 4 month vaccines are worse than 2 month vaccines. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the potential challenges of 4 month vaccines and how Nao Medical can help.
Why 4 Month Vaccines Can Be More Challenging
One reason that 4 month vaccines can be more challenging than 2 month vaccines is that they often involve more shots. At the 2 month visit, your child may receive a combination vaccine that protects against several diseases, such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). At the 4 month visit, your child may receive additional vaccines, such as those that protect against pneumococcal disease and rotavirus. This can mean more shots and potentially more discomfort for your child.
Another potential challenge of 4 month vaccines is that they may coincide with the time when your child is going through a developmental leap. At around 4 months, many babies go through a period of increased fussiness, clinginess, and sleep disruption. This can make it more difficult to manage the stress and discomfort that can come with vaccinations.
