Since having DS recently vaccinated against everything but MMR, a few days ago, I am still totally confused as to wether we should have had it done or not. I am tearing my hair out in frustration not knowing what is best for my son. (The Autism risk scares me the most)
if I decided to get DS vaccinated against MMR, he can still get Measles, Mumps and Rubella , just on a lesser scale than if he wasnt vaccinated, right? Or could he still get it terribly bad even vaccinated?
I had rubella vaccination at 15 at school, and it was only given to the girls, (by 25 my immunity was zero, so had to have another one b4 ttc.) If it was given to girls only back then, why is it neccessary to have boys done now? Is it just because they have put it all in the one shot which is more convenient?
If and when i decide to get DS vaccinated for MMR, I want him to have them separately. Is this possible in Australia? Will all Docs do it.
BTW, when DH discussed the MMR vaccine with his Doc and told him we have decided to hold off on that one, his doc replied with "I dont want to comment, but good decision"
How common is Measles, Mumps and Rubella these days anyway?
I dont know, I am just so confused, where do you get unbiased truths to this matter....
