Feel like I've fucked up re one year immunisations

[sebsmummy1]

I've just been informed that I could have chosen to split them up and given then separately at the doctors as opposed to the three injections all at one time.

I had no idea!!

I remember all the controversy over the link between the MMR and autism but I thought the doctors findings ended up being debunked and he was struck off.

I'm now wondering if I should have pushed for them to have been given separately and was looking for some reassurance that most people on here have just presented their child for their one year old set of injections like I did.

I probably wouldn't be wobbling but my son had a fever last night as a result of the vaccine and it's the first time he has been poorly and I feel like I caused it.

The link between mmr and autism is totally unproven. The reason why people mistakenly link them is that often the first symptoms of autism present at around the same time as the mmr. It's absolutely fine.

OP you've done the right thing which is getting your Ds vaccinated against some nasty illnesses. Instead he has a slight fever which is really common in children anyway.

You have followed the current best practice, so while in future it might not be best practice, it's not a fuckup.

As opposed to me just being reminded by this thread that dd should have been taken for her MMR etc yesterday afternoon. [Blush]
I was watching ds in his first Christmas concert, but should still have rescheduled. Better do that now...
