If the doc still refuses to give it, fire him/her and find another one who would be more considerate of your decisions. You are the parent, and the decision whether to vaccinate or not is yours.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 I think it is true. I have my pharmacy looking into getting the measles vaccine from another manufacturer. The way I see it, if there is an outbreak of measles or rubella we will have the opportunity to vaccinate then. I had mumps and it wasn't a big deal. My oldest has autism and my second has some sensory issues that make me think we dodged a bullet w/ her. No way was I vaccinating my youngest too.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 A friend of mine was trying to obtain the single shots of MMR for her child a few weeks ago and another friend called Merck and was told the single doses would be available again in 2003. So it appears right now they aren't available. > I think it is true. I have my pharmacy looking into getting the measles > vaccine from another manufacturer.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 I heard the opposite: that they are still available, but will be discontinued in the near future. In any case, whenever speaking with any of their reps, be sure to record their full name and position, to hold them responsible in case they lied to you. > > I think it is true.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 We were told by our pharmacy that they are unavailable at present and won't be available until after the first of the year. The reason for this they said is because of the shortages of other vaccines so they aren't making the separate MMR until the other vaccines are caught up.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hi, My daughter is 2 1/2 and has not had her MMR, I wanted to wait until she was talking and I new for sure there was no sign of autism. She is talking up a storm and more advanced than alot of 2 1/2 year olds that I know, I think not giving the MMR has given her this advantage. I'm feeling pressured about the MMR also, but I think I'm going to wait till she enters Kindergarten.
