Feeling a bit nervous about delayed MMR
Have just booked DD in for her 3 year old check up. I initially delayed giving her the MMR vaccine at 12 months, figuring 2 needles was enough in one go and she wasn't mixing with other kids much at the time.
So it is now 2 years 'overdue' and I'm just feeling a bit..I dunno..about her having it on Friday at her check up. She's going to know what is going on now, and it's sometimes hard enough even getting her to allow doctors to examine her and she hasn't even been weighed at her last two yearly check ups because she just refused and I didn't want to force her.
We just took our dog to get his yearly
Vaccines, so she might have some understanding but I know she is going to fall to pieces anyway :(
She is around other kids a lot more now, goes to daycare one day a week, Kindergym, playgroup etc so I do want her to have it. She hasn't had any side effects from any other vaccines, but I still can't help feeling iffy about her having this one..
I do want her to have it, I'm not completely opposed to immunisation programs, I guess I'm just quietly freaking out about it. MMR is always the one people claim to have caused severe adverse reactions, I know there isn't much to scientifically back up claims that it has caused sensory disorders, but as a parent you still can't help wondering..
