I am not anti-vaccine either but I do question giving so many vaccinations at one time.

Several years ago my sister-in-law had a new puppy and, because it fit my schedule, I took him into the vet for his first round of shots. I was surprised when the vet only gave him 2 vaccines that day as my SIL had expected there to be several more. The vet told me that the pup would need the other shots but that there was some evidence that too many shots at once could adversely affect some puppy's central nervous system. This vet had decided to string out the shots and, while my SIL would still have to pay for the shots, the doctor would charge only for the shots, no additional office visit fees.

I thought then if too many shots at one time might hurt a puppy, why do we risk children by giving them so many shots at once?
