MMR vacination

[givemechocolate]

Anyone else deliberating over whether to give their baby the MMR as a combined jab, over individual ones. The link to autism and other complications really worries me. Anyone else feel the same?

There is no link to autism. A link was suggested by a study carried out over a decade ago, which has since been repeatedly discredited and the link disproved. The head of a major autism charity in the US recently resigned because the charity insisted on continuing to use donated money to investigate this link - she said 'vaccines save lives, they don't cause autism'. Her daughter is autistic.

I felt the same - decided against in the end - ds is now 3, meant to give individual inoculations but when ExP went AWOL and emmigrated couldn't afford to.

Ds still not immunised... the moral of the story is, do what you think is best, and do it NOW or it'll fall by the wayside!
