I'm completely at a loss as to what to do. There has been an outbreak of measles near to where I live, although the extent to which I am unsure of. I've got a baby who is 6 weeks off 1 year. My dilemma is as follows:
Do I wait until DC's birthday and follow the NHS vaccination schedule with the risk he could contract measles in the weeks before his bday?
OR
Do I have him vaccinated privately this week then follow vaccination schedule as I've been told is still necessary?
I'd hate to give him an additional early vaccination but on the other hand if I don't, and he contracts measles I'd be so guilty. I've had conflicting advice about the extent of the outbreak. If anyone has any insight I'd be tremendously grateful.
