So sorry that one doesn't work either. Maybe my doctor isn't pandering but just being a good guy and finding an easy solution to a problem some infants have?
Your response was so predictable that I already had mine written down.

The public health issue is that lots of parents don't bring their children in for regular visits, so immunizations are bundled to get the most benefit for society. For the parents that regularly see the doctor, society will get the same benefit if they are spaced out. Remember, vaccine schedules are about societal protection, not an individual child's protection.
