Has anyone given their older children the mmr vaccine?

[PJ67]

Don't want to turn this into another debate but wondering if anyone's children have had mmr when they were older. My 9 and 11 year olds haven't had it as my oldest had quite a bad reaction to it so I kept putting off. I'm seriously thinking about getting them now but wondering if side effects would be any different now their older, either better or worse. Thanks

Single vaccs as babies and MMR last week for my dc aged 16 and 14. No problems at all.

Can I ask those of you whose DC were previously unvaccinated what kind of reception you got from HCP's when you enquired? Did you have to explain why they hadn't had them or were HCP's just focused on making sure they had them now?

In our case rosa we had considered it with DD’s allergy consultant at the hospital every two years so it wasn’t an issue for us. The minute they thought it was right they arranged for DD to travel to a hospital with a PICU 50 miles away, just in case.

I struggle with the ‘my kid had a reaction’ threads a little bit because DD did have a reaction, to a tiny bit of vaccine placed under her skin in a hospital by an allergy consultant when she was 7 (was delayed until then on their say so) and it took another 5 years to get there.
