1 year vax

[Honeybeesinthetrees]

My DS is due his 1 year vaccines, hes to get the 4 in 1 so mmr with 3 boosters also meaning 4 injections. Im so worried he'll have sort of reaction and i keep reading about parents saying child started showing signs of ASD following (i know there is no solid research just anecdotal) has anyone else felt this way? Hes already 13 months as he's been constantly ill with bugs from nursery since starting last month

There is no evidence of a child showing signs of ASD after their MMR jab, nor is there any anecdotal evidence because it's bollocks. Nevermind the fact there's "no solid research" it's actually been completely disproven. And it's infuriating that this crap is allowed to be peddled here. There are ZERO links between the MMR vaccination and any autism/learning difficulties/etc. Zero. None. Nada.

There are NO links to ASD. There is however a measles epidemic. Do you want your child to get a horrible illness that can cause serious problems? Please get your child their jabs.

MMR does not cause autism! And also please get your child vaccinated, as pp said, do you really want them to get measles?

He might have a bit of a fever after and be grouchy, but that's the most common reaction if there's going to be one. There's no links to ASD. With measles going around that's what I'd be terrified of.

Please don't risk your child getting Measles. I had it as a child, before the vaccine was offered, and still live with the effects it had on my every day. Not all children who catch Measles survive do perhaps I was one of the lucky ones?

I'm not sure where you're getting your "information" from online but can I kindly suggest you move over to more evidence based sites where they don't trot out this completely unproven claptrap?

My friend wavered abiut getting the MMR for her son at 12 months. Her excuse was that he kept catching colds and she didn’t want to put him through the injections and possible side effects on top of the winter colds that he seemed to constantly have.

Lo and behold, at 18 months he caught measles. He was extremely ill and rushed to A&E. Several weeks later he still isn’t full recovered.

I’ll also add that your post should be instantly deleted for peddling nonsense about MMR being linked to autism. This has been entirely disproved, as I’m sure you well know.

Measles is not the uncommon disease that it was in my own childhood thanks to the rise of anti-vax idiots. If you like your child and don’t want them to get seriously ill/potentially die and spread highly contagious diseases to other people, you’ll get them vaccinated.

Just vaccinate your child 🙄

It’s potentially a day of being a bit clingy and feverish and just cuddling up on the couch with you. He’s not going to suddenly become Autistic because of the vaccine! Measles is what I’d be worried about too given the outbreaks at the moment.

Any children who have started showing signs of ASD at this age just after their vaccines have done so because it’s an age where they are developing communication and motor skills quickly and it’s become more noticeable for caregivers/professionals to see that a milestone is not being reached or see any potential signs. It’s not because of a vaccine.

If you're that worried and disinclined to get the MMR jab, there are single measles jabs available privately.

My DC had it done recently, ts not nice to watch but it’s over quickly and she rallied and was fine. 10 days after she was poorly and clingy with it for a few days, but it was managed well with paracetamol and she went to nursery as usual. Try not to worry.

It's depressing that people still believe the vaccines cause autism BS.

The vaccines are very safe and extremely important. The evidence absolutely conclusively shows no association with autism whatsoever. Autism commonly first starts presenting symptoms between age 1 and 2, which is why people note a coincidental temporal correlation with the 1 year vaccines, but it develops no more commonly in vaccinated children than unvaccinated children.
The diseases they protect against can cause death, brain damage and infertility. It's unpleasant getting 4 jabs at once, but it'll be over in seconds and your baby will be protected.

Bloody Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for!

No links to ASD whatsoever, but measles can be deadly.

You don’t need to postpone his vaccines unless he has a high fever. A bit of a cold isn’t a reason to delay.

There is absolutely no link between vaccines and autism.

The fraudster who started the MMR-Asd scaremongering was struck off for his actions

The MMR does not cause autism.

If parents with children who have Asd noticed signs around that age then it’s coincidental or made up in order to spread misinformation.

As the wife of a paramedic I urge you to proceed with the vaccinations. It could save your child's life.

The link between ASD and MMR has been disproven. The deaths and long term health issues caused by the illnesses the 1 yr vaccinations prevents have been very much proven.

My first child did have all the standard reactions to the MMR. The different components have reactions after different times - rashes, temps and a grumpy child. I was happy for her to have these rather than a serious illness. My second child had no reactions at all.

I work in paediatrics there is a rise in measles, mumps and whooping cough currently. Please vaccinate your kids. There’s no need for them to suffer!

Get the vaccine, stop spreading bs (the autism 'link' has been debunked so many times).

There are plenty of threads on mumsnet about this very same topic. Have a read of those and maybe they'll give you some peace.

Keep reading about it, do you?
Maybe stay away from anti vax conspiracy websites and you won't read about it nearly as much.
