I know if my son was in any way sick, even with a small cold, I could ask my Ped to wait on the vaxes for a few weeks until he was better becuase I had concerns about his immune system being overloaded. I did it more than once, actually. Our Ped had no issue with waiting a few weeks, nor did he have any issue with spreading them out. Again, the responsibilities fall to the parents to do the research and decide what is best for their children, but also take the general population into account.

And I definitely think vaccines have helped greatly diminish diseases that in the past were extremely devastating, crippling and/or fatal (polio, anyone?).

I also feel confident there is constant research and updating being done on vaccines and they are altered accordingly to need.
