I have had a couple of younger friends starting families within the past year. I was surprised that every one of them wanted to extend the vaccination schedule. They all knew the importance of vaccinations - none were anti-vac. When my kids were born, I never thought about it. We had zero problems with the standard schedule. So, I do not know if there is any merit for extending the schedule.

BTW - We are all PhD level scientists at a highly prestigious research institute.
