When it comes to vaccinations, sticking to the recommended schedule is absolutely considered the optimal plan because if your child isn't up to date with vaccines, then he’s not fully covered and susceptible to the diseases that the shots prevent.
If you choose to delay, skip, or reject all or some vaccines, there can be risks. With this decision, comes an important responsibility to protect your child’s life and the life of others in your family, community and all around.1
