Hi All,

I am wondering if any of you decided to give to their little ones the single one component measle vaccine? ( babyjabs are offering it)

if yes how it turned out?

many thanks,

There is absolutely no reason not to give your child the mmr.

Wakefield was a fraud, anyone pushing the autism/mmr so called link is a bullshitter

Many years ago. But. ONLY because the MMR scandal was relatively new and hadn't been resolved, and ONLY Because I could have all three jabs done separately. As that's no longer an option I had my most recent child vaccinated with the MMR. I would however use that money to pay for a chickenpox vaccination instead and have the standard MMR. Chickenpox is a horrible illness that can cause complications and really easy and inexpensive to immunise against. If you can protect your child from it it's excellent IMO

The issue with doing that is that you can't get single mumps or rubella, so they're going to have to have the MMR anyway.
