Hi Everyone,

Yes, I don't think it's good enough either. Perhaps its time we start writing to the Dept of Health to demand that access to separate vaccines be available for those who don't wish to follow the government's prescribed immunisation schedule.

Sammiejane - I was told that I could not order the vaccs myself and that I could only get my GP to do it for me after I sourced for the GP where they were available from. If this ever happened I can't see it being a pleasant experience as my GPs have been less than helpful. If my MCN can do it, all the better! But I figure only an MD can do the ordering first.

Falguni - well I certainly fell off my chair this morning because Dr. Bob emailed me back! His site said he doesn't reply to personal emails from parents. so I was as surprised as you must have been.

Not good news, sadly. Dr. Bob said no one in the US is manufacturing it at the moment, though he did give me the name of a New Jersey company to ask as they were the last known ones. There may be more stock in 12 months time. I will have a go and post here if anything comes of it. Looks like American parents wanting the same option right now are fresh out of luck as well.

I'm taking my DD to see my family in Singapore at the end of the year and our family pediatrician has just informed me that he can get a hold of the vaccs there. I will dbl check that this is accurate info.

thanks for all your help,
