Vaccine mixup

My wife and I have a 2 month old that went in for his checkup. We got the Hep B vaccine at birth and 1 month. We had a long discussion last night about what we wanted to do about vaccines going forward. I heavily lean towards no vaccines going forward except for finishing the Hep B doses (only 1 left). My wife is pro-vaccine. We compromised on doing a modified schedule to pace out the injections so it wasn't so many chemicals all at once.

Well, she discussed this with the doctor today and she told the doc to only administer DTaP and Rotavirus. He received 2 shots and an oral liquid.

She gets home and gets a call from the doctor saying they messed up and they gave him all five that were scheduled (RV, DTaP, Hib, PCV, and IPV) and we don't need to bring him in till the 4 month checkup.

I'm in shock and upset. Has this happened to anyone else? Do I have any recourse? Would it be a waste of energy since he already has received them? Now that he's received Dose 1 of a bunch of these, do I need to stick to the schedule? I'm furious but trying not to take it out on my wife as she's not at fault for the mess up, but it would've been avoided had we decided to not vaccinate. I'm also blaming myself for not pushing the "no vaccine" stance that I admittedly have recently taken up (so much fear mongering on both sides of the argument). I certainly could've presented my case better.

Help and advice is greatly appreciated!

You're hardly likely to get any kind of unanymous opinion here.
By the time i finish typing you'll probably have "yes", "no", and "you decide what your heart tells you".

But since you asked, I'll stick with the facts, and they are that immunisations work, and by not doing it you directly assist in the deaths of children.

DEADLY diseases eradicated decades ago are making a comeback because more parents are refusing to vaccinate their children.

I appreciate your reply. There's also plenty of evidence supporting that the decline of diseases is due to increased hygiene. That being said, my wife and I agreed to get a modified schedule so that he would be vaccinated, but so he wouldn't get such an influx of chemicals and "weak" disease protein strains all at once, and his body could work on each a little at a time.

The main point is that she told the doctor which vaccines to give him today, and then an hour later, after my wife had left and thought that he received only the two she had consented to, found out that they had given him all 5 of them, against our plan.

I suggest you get a lawyer and get started on a malpractice claim - AND - if you determine that the act was intentional during your discovery phase you should press for prosecution. Be sure to ask for enough money to fight of the effects of these unwanted vaccines - at least $10M just to get their attention.
Given the circumstances, what else can you do that will affect future behaviour concerning doctors & vaccines?

i doubt it was a mixup.

A lot of the comeback diseases are hitting kids that were vaccinated.

Do what you can while the issue is still fresh, i had suspicions when my son became ill after a set of shots, but now it's too late to do anything. I would be furious if they did any such thing, even if they are recommended shots...it was a mix up and they could have been any number of shots that weren't to be given. I know of a child that got the adult dose and ended up seizing. it's still malpractice. I'm not against vaccinations even though my son is one of the few that had a reaction to them, but it should be noted that he got whooping cough and a few others that he was vaccinated for. My girls have not been vaccinated since they left the hospital and they haven't had any of the diseases.
