My son, 14 mo has just had chickenpox. At the moment I am still in the process of deciding whether to go for the MMR or single vaccines.
I have spoken to the GP re MMR and he said that DS can have the vaccine 2-3 weeks after chickenpox.
I have spoken to a private clinic re single jabs and they told me that he cannot have his first vaccine before 3 Months after chickenpox.
As I found the two different opinions very confusing, I have logged my question with NHS direct. Their response was : ?we are unable to provide advice on the MMR vaccine. We are able to give general information about the vaccine from accredited public health websites only. ? So no direct answer to my question.
I don?t know what to do. Whether I go for MMR or single jabs, I would like to know the safe period I have to wait after chickenpox. I have looked at all possible websites and this information is nowhere to be found. Can anybody help ?
