Hi there,
I would do as your surgeon recommended. In general, we recommend getting vaccines done per the recommended schedule. Many vaccines have a range of ages during which they may be given. In a complex case like your son, sometimes variations to the schedule are permitted.

When Sean was a baby he also suggested it would be prudent to consider doing just one vaccine at a time rather than doing them as typical babies, several per visit, even if that meant delaying some of the vaccines a little bit. What are your thoughts on this?
