CindyMy son with CAH got through all of his shots fine without stress doses, but I always worried. I was lucky-he never developed a fever with any shots. My older son who does not have CAH developed a fever after his first set of shots but did fine after that.
You are right that with live vaccines it may not be a good idea to stress dose, since that can affect her immune system and make her more susceptible to side effects from the vaccines. I don’t know if a double dose could suppress her immune system so much that the vaccination would be ineffective. I doubt it, but I’m not sure. Also, if your child does develop a fever associated with the MMR or varicella vaccine it usually would occur more than a week after vaccination, so double dosing the day of vaccination wouldn’t help. Fever is a very rare complication of the Prevnar vaccine so I wouldn’t worry about that too much. I agree that you should ask your endo for advice. It’s a complicated issue!
What country are your from? I’m just curious because in the United States we don’t usually give MMR or varicella vaccines until after 12 months of age.
I hope all goes well. Shots are no fun!!
