Vaccines in infants. Over the years, vaccines have changed a lot; from what is given to what dosage to in what increments. When I was an infant, my mom said I never had more than about 3 shots at a time. Now, by the time a child is about 6 months they've had at least 17 shots. Most of those are given 5 or 6 at a time. (I looked this up*) There have been disagreements on how vaccinations should be given, whether they should in fact be given all at once or spread out over more time. This would be interesting to look into the different vaccinations given, and this could potentially be a scientific experiment. Maybe it's actually harmful for an infant to be given this many vaccinations so early.
