I don't know what to do...
Our DS (5) had single vaccinations (we were worried about the possibility of any adverse reaction whatever) for measles mumps and rubella.
Now it is time for a booster, which I have been delaying. DS has Aspergers and also every kind of allergic reaction you could name. I have no idea whether or not there was a connection to the injections but didn't notice anything remarkable at the time; it wasn't until DS was around 2.5 that I thought he might be on the spectrum.
There is definitely a family history of ASD on both sides and my husbands family are all allergic to various things, indeed I am mildly reactive to bites, dust, hayfever, etc. It was a difficult birth, as well, so it would be hard to say that the measles jab had anything to do with it.
I read on the babyjabs website that single vacs do not require a booster but having spoken to PA at the GP who injected him first time around, he said he does.
Now I am wondering whether the poor lamb needs to go through 3 jabs or whether I should just go for the one-shot MMR.
Does anyone know anything about booster MMR's making things worse for ASD/allergic kids?
Sorry this is a bit rambling!
