My older dd had the sep vacs in 2003-4 and my younger ds had the MMR in 2005. I decided that the risks (if any) of the MMR vaccine were less than him getting measles etc and we also could no longer afford the £200+ for the sep vacs.
ANYWAY - the time has come for the booster. I have tried to research it on the internet but with little luck and I know there is a wealth of info in the brains of mumsnetters so ... what is the verdict? My main problem is that both are now 'sentient' at 2 and a half and 4 and will not like the injection, especially if they are the one who has to go second, iyswim.
Do they have to have it, is it just 'belts and braces' or is it really necessary?
