Any Drs/ nurses about? DS may have been given wrong dose of MMR.

DH took DS to have the normal 1 year vaccinations yesterday, he's 16 months but we put them off for a while for various reasons.
When it got to the MMR the nurse said it would be his booster and when DH said he hadn't had the 1st dose she was adamant that he had & managed to convince DH of that.. He definitely hasn't. The nurse wrote in his red book next to the 1st dose section though.
What I'm wondering is whether there is actually any difference in 1st dose & booster mmr and what I should do now! Thanks for reading.

Thanks Lilqunneie, will definitely be complaining, I'm just trying to work out exactly what he's been given at the mo but the surgery seem as confused about it as I am!

the actual vaccine given as first shot or booster is the same, so there is no dosage problem.
