Measles - 6 month old exposure to unvaccinated sibling

I have a vaccinated 3.5 yr old and a 6 month old who obviously isn't. I also have an 11 year old stepson who comes to stay with us every weekend. His mother will not get him vaccinated. DP has asked her to re-think with regards to the current outbreaks and the risks to DS2 but she will not budge.

What should I do? Any advice? DSS attends a school where there has been 2 'possible' cases (not quite sure what that means yet).

I've asked my surgery if they can give DS2 an early vaccination but they say no at the moment.

TA!

I think we can agree that this is a really difficult situation and whatever the outcome, it is going to disturb the careful balance in this extended/step family.

Ex-W has agreed to a single measles vaccination!
