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.

  • What everyone seems to be missing here is that regardless of whether Austim was caused by the MMR jab, the fact is this little boy had a fever afterwards.  The only thing I woud do is speak to my GP, reminding them of the fact your son had such a reaction.  I certainly wouldn't be using clinics that may not be ligit.

    Your sons GP should be able to give you the answers you need and deserve as a concerned parent.  If they do not give you the information, ask to speak to someone else for a second or third if neccesary opinion.

    Your post was from a while ago, so hopefully you have this sorted now.

    For me, I don't believe my daughters autism was caused by the MMR, but the jury is still out for a definate yes / no.

    My reasoning for my daughters case is becasue she has displayed many difficult signs as a baby, like not wanting her nappy changing (she would roll over and crawl as fast as she could (every time), screaming in the car seats and later not getting her in one.  However I have thought about other things like; we had a downs test and there were questions so we were given an extra scan which showed a bright spot on her heart (this just complicated things at the time, but isn't relevant here). Now they don't do this test.  She also had the cord wrapped round her neck during our super fast delivery and was in trouble during the last few minutes of being born.  I wonder if anyone has heard of anything like this being a factor?
