oh no, not another vax thread!! this time single measles - what adverse effects did your lo experience?

[ratbunny]

I have decided to give ds single jabs, as each time her has jabs his eczmea really flares (after the 5 in 1, it flared and got infected for an entire month, nothing would bring it down!), and I thought any reaction would be less severe with fewer diseases in the vaccination iyswim.

I am also concerned about the autism links, of course. I understand its a small subset of childnre etc and that mmr is safe for the majority.

But I am wondering what adverse effects anyones los had from single measles jabs?

shameless bump!

also, he has been grizzly all week - off his food, whingy and felt hot (but no thermometer, so dunno if he had a rised temp or not). should I still take him?

[probably unnecessarily worried]

will watch this - am also planning on giving DS singles (for own peace of mind really)...

DD had no real reaction to single measles - was a bit grumpy afterwards, but then she had been before, as teething!

She had more of a reaction to some of the other standard vaccines (including eczema flare ups) to be honest.

vonsudenfed - that is reassuring. ds has always reactd with eczema flares, so its kind of good to hear someone elses did, but was ok with singles measles..

None - ds was absolutely fine.

None here either after any of the 3 seperate jabs and DS has excema.

I bottled out! silly woman! but I thought, I havent read into it enough and would be really paranoid, and I need to be confident. The doctor told me, as I was cancelling due to 'illness', that a lot of people cancel up to 3 times and then he tells them to just come in and have it done! I am planning on doing it when I come back from holiday now.

but positive stories are still welcome!!

neither of mine had any reactions to the single jabs, dd1 has mild eczema and the vax didn't make it worse or anything.
