MMR BOOSTER what should i do ?????

[bubble78]

i know its probably been asked a thousand times but my ds age nearly four has asd no speech at all and little understanding i just wanted to know does any body think the booster can make things worse if there is a link to mmr ??

he has just been called to go for his on the 2nd febuary and i really dont know what to do??

sorry to babble on but needed to ask someone and this is the best place to get good honest fast answers

bump sorry to be a pain

The MMR 'booster' is not technically a booster, it's to cover those who were for whatever reason not protected the first time. (My very pro-vax paed confirmed this to me). ds (20 months, NT) had the MMR with some misgivings on my side but no problems, but will not be having the 'booster' - possibly single measles and/or mumps a little later.
Particularly if you suspect the MMR of having a hand in your ds's problems, I would be cautious.

what about the injection for diptherea polio and tetenus as he is called for this on same day as mmr aswell not heard of anything against that injection though has anyone else?

bump again sorry

ds (9) had the first mmr when he was 13 months..he had a bad reaction about 10 days later...and when he was called for the booster i went to the appointment but he didn't have it.
dd (4) had the first mmr..didn't react badly ...but she still won't be having the booster when she is called in the next few months.
ds just had the diptheria, tetnus and polio
and i shall do the same with dd

Ill be in your position later this year too Bubble. I dont know what to do myself, does all 4 year old get a DPT booster as well as mmr i cant remember ds1 getting DPT but he probably did, ill have to look in his baby book.

I just checked my ds1 got his DPT and booster mmr when he was 4.4years old.

thanks all i will not be giving ds his mmr booster as there is blood test he can have to check if he needs it or not then if he does i will decide then maybe seperate injections.. i will take him for the dpt though
thanks again
