Wow, just WOW!

If Valentina were classically vaccinated, here's what she would have so far according to BabyCenter's immunization calculator:

PS- They should always be called vaccinations, not immunizations. Immunization assumes that immunity is gained by the act of vaccination, which it's not 100% of the time.

It is also recommended that she receive the flu shot this year, since she is more "vulnerable". Since the CDC has admitted that 2 of the last 3 years' flu shots were ineffective, not to mention that a breastfed baby has a much lower incidence of serious complications from the flu, we definitely won't be doing any vaccinating. We may however, all dose up on a homeopathic variety from the ND. There is no thimerasol or preservatives in that concoction, and there are more than 3 strains of influenza as well.
