MMR

[MUSA]

I'm off on hoilday in two weeks time. My son is going to be a year old, i thought i would have his mmr when we get back just incase he's not well. A friend told me that you should'nt take a baby swimming unless he has had his mmr, can somebody please tell me that's not true.

that's not true

Thanks vict17 my mind is at rest now.

I was told it was ok to go swimming after the 1st 3 vaccines but other mumsnetters have taken their babies earlier than that as well. Where are you going on holiday?

i'm going to faro in portugal.

Everyone in NZ takes their babies swimming from 6 months and we don't vaccinate for MMR until 15 months, so there is no problem to leave that until you get back either.
