ds's eczema has always flared really badly after jabs, and that, along with the possibility of links between asd and mmr, has made me opt for single measles instead. He also has an egg allergy...
Please someone reassure me the risks ARE lower for the first 2 with single measles rather than MMR? And also if anyones egg allergic dc has had single measles with no problems...

dd is egg allergic but had single measles OK. I did worry though about a reaction and had the piriton close by.
I found Richard Halvorsen's book about vaccination very helpful (google him or you can get it on Amazon)

if his eczema flares badly after jabs then why give him more of them - or are you going to leave him unprotected against mumps and rubella?

Egg isn't an issue for MMR,although they may still do it in hospital if you ask.

If he was mine he'd have probiotics, fish oil and vitamin a - then the MMR.
