Do we or dont we give it to our son?? Any advice or experience on positives or negatives would be welcome.

thanks

My fifteen month old daughter has had it (and every other vaccination available to her) she also had her booster a couple of months ago. Absolutely no side effects - she didn't even cry when she got the jab. On the advice of the nurse I gave her Capol every four hours afterwards. Rather be safe than sorry.

Absolutely, no question, don't hesitate - it's all just scare-mongering and - as orlieborlie says - better safe than sorry!

All my four kiddies have had the jab ~ I did research it quite a bit when the scares first materialised (after my second child) and still didn't hesitate.

My first child has an ASD (Aspergers Syndrome) but the others haven't. In my opinion Autism & MMR jab are not connected.

Whether or not you go ahead with the jab is personal choice :o)

There are certain children who should not have the mmr like children with damaged liver and kidneys. Some children are more susceptible to the side effects such as autism, as I understand it boys, prem babies, babies that had to have uv light treatment and those whos mothers were ill when pregnant are recommended by some doctors to not have the triple jab although single vaccines aren't available on the NHS.
I would happily have my son vaccinated singly but it is only available in a triple so my son is not vaccinated.
I do not trust this money grabbing govt to do what is best for my son only what is cheapest.
Can you really trust a government that will withold life saving medicines like anti-cancer drugs because of price.

Surely life is precious

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!!!!!!!!! she obviously doesnt know anyone that has been damaged by the mmr. Im not trying to scare you its your choice.

my partners brother has been severely affected. So much so he is 11 year old still in nappies and will be for the rest of his life. He is severely handicapped, cant talk & often beats up his mother and carers because he doesnt know what he is doing or through frustration.

I have listened to my partners mother describe the day she took her happy little baby for the mmr and how after the injection he was not the happy bouncing baby he was pre-injection. She simply thought he was tired until further tests showed he had auotism.

After 10 years or so of court hearings etc they finally accepted liability.

Toy Blair would not say if his child had had the injection?

I therefore choose not to have my baby injected with any of the injections they offered. God forbid he catches anything but I felt that all could be treated IF he did catch something anyway.

I wanted an organic baby! The MMR got too much press and bad attention for my liking.

Hope this helps.
