measles vaccination..

[mummyof2kidsx]

Should my 21 month old have the 2nd vaccination. He is up to date with all of his jabs but should I request his 2nd vaccination early? Or do I just wait for the preschool booster when he is 3? x

Was wondering this for DS2 he's 2.4, my friend is taking her 3 for their first lot today they are 8, 5 and 2.9 and is going to find out for me.

I don't know I would wait until the due date of the second vaccination x

From memory, my daughter had her MMR then a booster a few months later. Might be worth a call to your health visitor/doctor to check when the next one is due if you are concerned. We had a couple of cases of measles at my daughter's school at the end of last year, so it's not just confined to Wales.

We were told the second can be given earlier yes. I would contact your GP for further advice.

Asked the HV at clinic today.
If you are not in a high risk area then the advice is to stick with the scheduled jabs, we are in North Wales.

it will depend if there are cases in your area. The booster can be given early but it is not as urgent if you are not in an outbreak area
