That's my point. A baby at 12 months and under does not receive 14 different types of vaccinations. Flu vaccines are also completely optional.

This is just being obtuse.

I replied to a post that says should babies be vaccinated. I responded with a list confirming several infant vaccines already exist. Calling them optional is just a deflection.

14 vaccines already exist for babies, some of them even recommend second and third doses.

It's not being obtuse. You didn't even read your own source on the age recommended vaccinations. There's not 14 different vaccines provided at that age group.

You state you worked in healthcare, but if you did anything outside of janitorial work, your abysmal reading comprehension skills for your own sources should be a termination worthy offense.

All vaccines are available by 12 months. I'll also update the post to say there are 10 shots covering 14 preventable diseases.

Baby can be used to refer to any child from birth to age 4 years old, thus encompassing newborns, infants, and toddlers.

I have no further reason to debate this.

Reasonable.

Baby can be used to refer to any child from birth to age 4 years old, thus encompassing newborns, infants, and toddlers.

There are reasons that these categories are separate for life stages. I've never heard of a child over 2 being referred to as a baby outside of overprotective mothers, especially in a healthcare regard. A pox upon you.
