Measles outbreak in Camden - DD has not had MMR yet and other jabs are due first

Just heard on the news there's been an upsurge in measles in Camden and my one year old goes to drop ins and other clubs there every day.

She hasn't yet had MMR and is only due to have the 12 months jab next week (I think it's men C and hib??). She'll be 13 months by then. GP surgery needed prompting to do this - they seem to be a bit behind with their vaccines programme. Think they prefer to leave a month between jabs so she'd be 14 months before getting the MMR (assuming they get their act together...)

Anyway, I was all set to do single MMR vaccines because my mother has a serious auto immune disease which was probably triggered by a drug treatment in the 1980s (tis very rare so no reliable info on this) and was going to wait until a month after the hib vaccine but now that there's a measles scare in Camden, should I do the measles bit first and delay the hib vaccine to 14 months?

Personally I would have the mmr/single jab if you prefer and leave the hib a month or two - it is just a booster after all. IT is worrying isn't - there have been some measles cases around us and it really worries me but B is a bit young for the jab atm.
