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.

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

    Yes, but "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". The fact that Wakefield fabricated evidence does not necessarily mean that he was completely wrong it just means that he was a bad scientist. Until the OP can find an actual certain cause for this child's autism then all we know is that we don't know how it was caused. Identifying autistic traits within the family might help an understanding of how this case has come about.
