Just so you're aware, spacing out your kids' vaccine schedules officially makes you a part of the "anti-vax movement."
I can live with that if there's good reason for it. Which I would like to know more about, but I'm not getting much on PubMed. It is my formal opinion that any product that requires a prescription to purchase should not be allowed to advertise. It's also the formal opinion of every government in the World except for ours and New Zealand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_marketing#To_use... As an aside, for anyone that doubts the value of the chicken pox vaccine, they should talk to someone that has neuropathy due to shingles. My grandmother lived with excruciating pain for a decade. I'm glad I caught the chicken pox, although I was 18 and it was hell on earth.
