Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

i have no advice on the shots, but i am sure you will get good advice soon, as for the break and regression, work with him if you can, get down to his level, meaning actually get down on the floor and make it fun! also, next time a break is coming tell IE people you need to know EXACTLY what you should be doing at home to help keep him on track. he is young, give him time, his speech will get better, just keep doing what your doing!
