MMR Vaccination - Is it a Friend or Foe? Reviews

This is a very emotionally charged debate for obvious reasons and every parent has the right opinion for their child. This is my view for my son. I think it's really important that the immunity level to measles is kept above the critical level to prevent unimmunised children for catching it. At the moment in Wales there is an alarming ...  Read the complete review

I have had 9 nieces and nephews born, and I am hopefully going to have my own little one on the way soon, and the MMR situation has been a subject which has come up alot in my life. The MMR is the Measels, Mumps and Ruebella Vaccination given to babies at about 18 months old (i'm not 100% sure on this, so correct me if I am wrong!). ...  Read the complete review

There has been a lot of debate over the mmr vaccine over the last few years as a lot of people have begun to doubt the safety of this after allegations that it is causing autism in children. Before allowing my daughter to have this vaccine i looked into it a lot and thought long and hard about it, i couldnt find any proof any where ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, the MMR vacine is a friend and not a foe. Why would doctors want to give a child, not a child, a needle that would harm them. Ok, there has been research that this vacine is linked with things like autism, but if that were 100% proven, then they would have stopped giving it out ages ago. Together me and my wife sat down and starting ...  Read the complete review

I find this subject really frustrating. I can understand why some parents are doubtful of the MMR vaccination, because of all the bad press it has had for such a long time. But all of the research that was done, leading up to the bad press, was recently proved to be false!! It was all made up by the guy who was responsible for producing the single ...  Read the complete review

MMR - what a dilema for parents. This is only my personal opinion, from my own experiences and with such a controversial topic, maybe you will agree, maybe not. I have two children, a daughter aged 12 and a son, aged 8. Now my daughter has had both MMR vaccinations whereas my son has only had the first. When our ...  Read the complete review

Firstly let me say I am not against the MMR vaccination. In November 1991 my fifth child was born. He developed normally for the first 14 months with good medical results at his baby checks, a very healthy and lovely baby. January 1993 I took him along for his MMR just as I had for all his other immunisations. He was given the jab. Seven days ...  Read the complete review

When it was time to start thinking about the MMR jab that was coming up with my eldest i went over and over it, reading leaflets, looking on the internet, asking other friends with children what they had done and eventually came to the comclusion that i would much rather my child have the vaccination rather than get a serious illness that could be ...  Read the complete review

As a mum of a 9 month old the whole MMR debate is something I have been paying particular attention to. The MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) jab is "due" at 13 months. The combined jab is available free of charge on the NHS or alternatively you can pay for your child to have the vaccinations separately. My daughter had her ...  Read the complete review

Both my children have had the MMR vaccination, in fact they have had all their vaccinations as I feel this is extremely important. As a nurse myself, I have seen the devastating effects that these illnesses have on children who haven't been vaccinated and contract the disease, I feel very lucky that we live in a nation where we can ...  Read the complete review

I completely trust the mmr needle , i have three children and both of them so far have had the vaccine, the youngest one not yet , but in saying that the mmr and meningitis, are the only ones that i do use , and thankfully none of my children have ever been ill .In my opinion youngsters do not need so many jabs at such a young age , they are ...  Read the complete review

The argument over whether the combined MMR jab is safe has been raging for years. It pops in and out of the health agenda and, at least for parents of young children, it remains one of the biggest dilemmas that they face. The MMR jab was widely introduced into the UK in the 1980s to combat Measles, Mumps and Rubella (German Measles). ...  Read the complete review

When my son had his first set of immunisations when he was just 2 months old, I didn't think twice about letting the nurse inject him with all these vaccines, what was in them and the side effects, probably because I had not heard anything about them, good or bad. Yet when it came to my son having the MMR when he was 13 months old, I had a huge ...  Read the complete review

I have a son the youngest of 3 my older 2 children are completely healthy. And its not only the mmr but also the dtaps its the mercury they preserve the shot that causes the nuerological problem in the brain not the shot itself. My son's last shot was on Sept 15,1999 and in Oct. of 1999 they took his lot number of shot off the shelf and stated in ...  Read the complete review

i have very strong feelings about this. i think that all children should get the MMR. think back 20 years when children when parents where saying no to the MMR. so all these children are walking about with out the immunisation. now come back to present time where these 20 year olds are still walking about not immunised. one of thrm gets the mumps ...  Read the complete review

WELL THIS IS A SUBJECT THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY. WHEN THE MMR VACINE WAS IN THE PAPER THAT SAID THAT SOME CHILDREN WHO HAD THE MMR JAB DEVELOPED AUTISIM.THIS BROUGHT IT BACK WHEN MY SON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM THIS MAKES YOU THINK WHY MINE. THINGS WAS LIKE THIS WHEN THE WHOOPING COUGH JAB CAME OUT. A FRIEND OF MY DADS SON HAD THE ...  Read the complete review

It really has to be said, and one has to feel strongly about this subject, this vaccine is the most impotant jab your child can have. It can show how much you care about your child by stopping these dreadful childhood illnesses that can be fatal. I spent almost a decade as an ambulance driver and I saw too many children who ...  Read the complete review

I cannot shke the feeling that this sounds like BSE all over again. I mean that with out meaning to strike fear into any one. As parents we all want the best for our children and need ...  Read the complete review
