Single MMR vaccines

Salll

Hi there

My child is 3 and due for his booster MMR this month. 
As he had a very bad reaction to the first MMR, I am not prepared to have the combined vaccination again.

I have tried all avenues to find somewhere that administers the single vaccines, but without success. Does anyone know where I can find out this type of information? And are the individual vaccinations still available?

Many thanks for your help. I find myself in such a quandary as to the right to do and would appreciate any pointers.

    I agree with what recombant says, and it's also true that the Wakefield was very badly handled (on all sides of the argument) and such fueled mistrust and conspiracy theories.

    If I had a child whose autism manifested itself around the same time or shortly after the vaccination I would be suspicious, of course I would. But there would have to come a point where I would have to stop looking for someone or something to 'blame' for it.

    The MMR hypothesis has been tested over and over again since the Wakefield scandal and nothing has come of it.

    Many of us on this forum are autistic so please try to see past our apparently blunt way of communicating and see that we are trying to assist, not attack. Personally I don't do subtle - I would not know how to.
