How do you go about getting the measles, mumps, rubella separately?

Good afternoon

Hope everyone is well

Our little girl is coming up for one year and I know her MMR appointment will be through any day now.

We would like to avoid the MMR jab but I am not sure about her missing out altogether. I have no idea how you go about getting them done individually but fathom I should be starting the process now.


Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks
kirsty

If you contact Jabs they will tell you of clinics in your area.

my dd had hers seperatly but had to have 4 months in between each one, it was my doc who actually gave me the name of the clinic that was doing it.

We have used Holborn Medical Centre. DD only just had her 3rd jab of the 3 and she has just turned 4. She won't have a booster, or I might do the blood test to check her immunity.

Many thanks for your replies.

We are in West Sussex, near Horsham. Is there any particular order the jabs have to be done in and what is the usual gap between each. Four months seems a long time and just worry about exposure in the meantime. Her brother is in nursery (he is asd) and she goes to a childminder so lots of contact with other children.

Best Regards
Kirsty

runikka, we had measles, then mumps, then rubella - I think that was because the risk of contracting measles is thought to be greatest.
