12 month jabs

[CJ2010]

I have just taken DD for her 12 mth jabs and after much confusion from myself and the medical staff at the doc surgery, DD had her booster jab plus the MMR jab, 4 injections in total.

Now my friend who has a DC the same age as my DD has been informed that her DC will have the booster at 12 mths and the MMR at 13 mths.

I am getting worried now, has my DD has the MMR jab too early?

The NHS immunisation booklet says the MMR should be given at 13mths but when I questioned this at the surgery, the nurse said that the booklet was out of date. They now do all the injections at once apparently.

Anyone else faced similar confusion? There's feck all I can do about it now.

I heard they were going to start doing them at the same time. Was on BBC news website a while ago.

My dd had them all at the same time, but it was a very new way of doing them (about 6/7 months ago) and I was given the choice of all at once or seperate.

DD had all of them at the same time last week (she is 12.5 months old). I think it is quite a recent development to give them all at once. I had heard that it is partly becasue at this age babies start to remember what happened last time they were at the doctors, and so can be upset before the MMR is given as they remember what happened with the boosters. Whether this is true or not I don't know, but I was quite happy for them all to be done at once!
