Booster after Single Jab Measles, Mumps, Rubella

[PigeonPair]

Hi there, My son had his MMR jabs separately. He is now 4 and I am pretty sure he will be due his boosters soon (he has had his other pre-school boosters). Do you do boosters separately too or do you have to have combined MMR booster? Have looked on internet but conflicting opinions everywhere.......??

Were they separate for an allergy?

If not, you can have the combined MMR free at GP surgery. There is a massive MMR Catch-up campaign going on at the moment due to the rise in Measles cases.

However, if you were worried about the combined jab - have your reasons, worries changed?

if you were worried about the MMR enough to get singles the first time then surely you would want to do singles for the booster too?

No allergy - just parent paranoia (my husband more than me to be honest - I had to go three times - pain in the backside!). That said, I do have my doubts over the MMR and would prefer to do the boosters separately. I just wondered if it was necessary (I read somewhere that the separate jabs gave a higher immunity first time round, than the combined MMR)

DD will be getting the measles booster and possibly rubella

my dds had single vaccines but haven't had boosters however I am aware that they should. I just don't know what to do - MMR (my thoughts have changed slightly since 2003/2005 when they had single jabs) or single vaccines again.

With all this recent publicity I think they should have something.

What do others think?

We did single vaccinations and are now due pre-school boosters.

I don't know whether to have the Measles again, as the first jab (Moraten measles) patient info leaflet states it is 98.7% effective after a single dose.

We won't be having the second mumps jab.

We will source the second Rubella jab when my daughter is early teens.

fivegomadindorset, can I ask where your dd had her measles vaccination? I'm in dorset too.
