The Dr. Paul Approved
Vaccine Plan
Dr. Paul Thomas, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Get your children the protection from infectious diseases while minimizing vaccine side
effects.
Since 2008, Dr. Paul and the team at Integrative Pediatrics have been using the plan outlined below.
Combining this vaccine plan with exclusive breastfeeding, eating a diet of real food, getting enough
vitamin D, exercising, and avoiding toxins like acetaminophen, aspartame, and glyphosate, the children
in his practice have experienced superior health, and a significantly lower rate of autism (0 in 1336) than
the national average, which is 1 in 45.
If you have autism in the family, a history of autoimmune disorders, or an MTHFR
mutation: delay vaccines until at least age five, or never. Do discuss this with your
provider and know the risks of not vaccinating.
Pregnancy: No vaccines (No Tdap, No flu)
Birth: No Hep B
2 months: Hib, DTaP (No Hep B, Rotavirus, IPV)
3 months: Prevnar
4months: Hib, DTaP (No Rotavirus, IPV)
5 months: Prevnar
6 months: Hib, DTaP (No Hep B, Rotavirus, IPV)
7–9 months: Prevnar
1 year: Hib, Prevnar (No MMR, Hep A, Varicella)
18 months: DTaP
2 years (No Hep A)
3 years: Consider MMR (always give MMR by itself)
4-6 years: DTaP, (consider Varicella, IPV)
10 years: Tdap (boost every 5 – 10 years)

11 years: Menveo or Menactra (meningococcal), Varicella
12-14 years: Hepatitis B (3 dose series)
16–18 Years: Menveo or Menactra & consider meningococcal B, Hepatitis A
CONSIDERATIONS
1. If you are travelling to a part of the world where measles is prevalent, giving the MMR after age
1 should be considered. Always give this vaccine by itself waiting at least a month before any
other vaccines.
2. The Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine can be given after age 1 if you don’t want your child to get
natural chickenpox.
3. Consider the IPV (at least two doses 2 months apart) before travel to high- risk countries.
4. Use these low aluminum options if offered– Daptacel for DTaP, Acthib for the Hib.
5. Only give one aluminum containing vaccine at a time (Aluminum containing vaccines: DTaP,
Hep B, Hep A, Prevnar, PedVax, some Hib brands, HPV, Pentacel, Pediarix, Bexero, Trumenba).
Wait 2 - 4 weeks between aluminum containing vaccine injections.
6. No HPV vaccines – side effects too frequent and severe. No long term testing.
7. No Rotavirus vaccine unless you will live where there is no access to health care.
8. Flu shots annually age 6 months on for asthma and chronic disease patients.
9. If birth mom has Hepatitis B, baby should get the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth, 1-2 months and at
6 months along with Hepatitis B immune globulin at birth.
Abbreviations, Brand Choices and Ingredients
Hib. This is the vaccine against Haemophilus influenza type B, a leading cause of bacterial meningitis.
Choose the ActHIB brand, which has the HIB sugar with tetanus toxoid, saline and sugar water. The
PedVax brand has 225 micrograms aluminum and should be avoided.
DTaP. This vaccine covers Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis. The little “a” DTaP stands for “acellular.”
Prior to 1990 we used a whole cell DPT in the USA that caused severe side effects, including seizures,
brain damage, and death.
I prefer the Daptacel. The Tripedia brand contains trace amounts of mercury in addition to aluminum.
The Infarix brand has the most aluminum: 625 micrograms. All available brands contain 100
micrograms of formaldehyde, which helps trigger an immune response. Formaldehyde can trigger
autoimmune disorders, where your body attacks itself.
Prevnar – 13. This vaccine replaced the Prevnar – 7 by adding more strains of the pneumococcus, the
bacteria that is the second leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children. This vaccine has 125
micrograms of aluminum.
MMR. Measles, mumps and rubella are all viral infections that used to be a routine childhood illnesses
prior to vaccines and could sometimes cause severe complications. The MMR vaccine contains human
albumin, cow fetus serum, neomycin and chick embryo proteins. This live-vaccine is also perhaps the
most controversial as time and time again (I’ve heard it over 100 times) parents have seen that after this
vaccine their previously normal child became autistic. Though no study has definitively linked the
INTEGRATIVE PEDIATRICS 5.2.17

MMR vaccine to autism, there is a case to be made for caution. Until a large double-blind study
comparing unvaccinated children with vaccinated children is done, we cannot rule out the current
American vaccination schedule as a contributing factor in autism. My own clinical experience has
shown that waiting until age 3 is safer and healthier for children, significantly reducing the chance of
neurological and immunological damage that may be triggered by this vaccine.
Menveo, Menactra, Meningococcal B (Trumenba, Bexero). Meningococcal disease can cause rapidly
fatal meningitis and blood infections. The disease is treatable if you catch it early. Menveo and Menactra
both use safe technology and contain no aluminum. I feel comfortable giving these vaccines starting at
age 11. These two brands do not cover meningitis type B which is prevalent in Oregon, and other parts
of the world. Enter the new kids on the block: Trumenba and Bexero, which have 500 micrograms and
1500 micrograms of aluminum respectively. These are extremely high doses of aluminum, a known
neurotoxin, and I do not feel comfortable recommending either of these vaccines, unless your college
bound child is heading into an active meningococcal B outbreak.
Hepatitis B. The hepatitis B vaccines contain 250 micrograms of aluminum per dose. This is simply too
much for a newborn. Since you catch hepatitis B from exchanging bodily fluids during sex, as well as
from IV drug use and contaminated blood, I recommend waiting until the teenage years or your child
becomes sexually active. If you plan to travel to a country where hepatitis B is endemic, this vaccine
may be necessary.
Varicella. Chickenpox was a rite of passage for every American born before 1995. Deaths were rare
indeed (historically fewer than 50 people a year died from complications from the chickenpox in the
United States, which has a population of over 318 million). It was more dangerous to take a shower.
This live virus vaccine appears to be safe for most children, however it appears we are having more
shingles as a result of the vaccine, which prevents adults from ongoing exposures that would have
boosted immunity. Since chickenpox is highly contagious and can be fatal when immune-compromised
people are exposed, this is one vaccine where having community immunity benefits the most vulnerable.
Those of us who can safely get this vaccine probably should.
IPV. The Injectable Polio Vaccine (Ipol) contains formaldehyde, along with a host of other ingredients
you probably wouldn’t want to inject into an infant with an immature immune system, including: human
albumin, calf serum, 2-phenoxyethanol and antibiotics. Since the last case of wild polio acquired in the
USA was 1979 and it is essentially eliminated from the world, I recommend babies skip this vaccine
unless you plan to travel to higher risk areas of the world.
HPV. Gardasil and Cervarix. Human Papilloma Virus comes in many strains. The vaccines for HPV
have tried to target the strains most associated with cervical cancer in women and genital warts
(Gardasil). These vaccines have large doses of aluminum and seem to cause significant and frequent side
effects. Because of these safety issues, I cannot recommend the vaccines against HPV at this time except
for teens who are sexually promiscuous and refuse to practice safe sex.
Rotavirus. RotaTeq and Rotarix. Rotavirus has been blamed for the majority of the vomiting and
diarrhea of childhood. The vaccine was marketed as a money saver as there were so few deaths in the
USA from rotavirus illness that they couldn’t justify it any other way. The thing is, we never needed it.
The reduced hospitalization rates are likely due to our use of anti-vomiting medications as to anything
else. This is one vaccine your children do not need if you have access to modern health care.
