Hi all I’m new to this and I’m really stressed! Apologies for how this may come across but I’ve no one to speak to about this. My son is due his 12 months vaccines and I’m extremely worried about the mmr shot- my partner is anti vaccines he has gone down a rabbit hole and won’t listen to me it’s resulted in fights non stop and If I mention it to friends and family they think he is crazy I’ve had to secretly being our child for his other vaccines and now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole looking up everything online about what can go wrong. I understand most things are fake news and lies but my mind is still questioning everything I am really worried I’m gonna trigger a reaction with my son and the mmr. I’ve heard horror stories with rashes and fevers and brain swelling and the whole regression thing. Do you have any advice or am I over reacting?! I wish I could delay that vaccine until I’m more relaxed about getting it but I know it’s risky 🫣

My dd was never the same after mmr.
If I had a choice I would've delayed it.

That said I did it and now I am where I am

I was worried, so paid privately for each jab separately and with several months between each jab. However I think that's harder to do these days as I'm not sure you can bring the single mumps jab into the country any more.

@Gooeyeyes

Can you speak to the GP/Nurse about your concerns? They can provide you with stats too.

This is your personal choice.

My personal choice was to vaccinate all of my children.
