When Elyse Imamura’s son was an infant, she and her husband, Robert, chose to spread out his vaccinations at a more gradual pace than the official schedule recommended.
“I was thinking, ‘OK, we’re going to do this,'” says Imamura, 39, of Torrance, Calif. “‘But we’re going to do it slower so your body gets acclimated and doesn’t face six different things all of a sudden.'”
Seven years later, Imamura says her son, Amaru, is a “very healthy,” active boy who loves to play sports.
