After years of humming and ha-ing (mmr, singles, mmr, singles, etc), ds1(4 in august) had his first MMR injection in October.

We got a letter through the post today for him to have his booster later this month. Surely this cannot be right?

Anyone know how long ought to be left between jabs?

They've probably just sent his recall at the smae time as others who had theirs done in their 2nd year, with no reference to the fact he's only recently had the first one. iiwy I'd leave it until next spring/summer.

I plan to cancel it tomorrow but just wondered what is 'reasonable'

I spent so long thinking about the whole thing in the first place!
