Hi. I've been looking into the single vaccines and apparently the mumps is not available in the uk just now. I'm not sure but think mumps might be more of a problem in young adults so maybe it will become available or he could have mmr when he's older. Has your son just had the measles one. My two are 4 and 6 and I've been wondering about side effects. Did your son have any?

I'd really prefer he didn't have the mar NOW purely as he's covered for most of it anyways.

No side effects at all tho I did per dose with carpool at the time. As I say, he's 8 now so that was quite a while ago now.
