I didnt get a letter but there is a letter up in our surgery about it. I asked them and they said wait til you've stopped bfing. When I asked my mum though she thinks i've had it so I need to check.

My mum didnt get my brother done as it was all in the news about it. he was really annoyed when he found out and has just had it done age 16. I'm glad he did because not long after his best mate got mumps (earlier this year). It can be very dangourous for boys in particular.

It is a tough one but all the recent research shows the autism conection isnt actually there. (In japan they stopped giving the triple jab and autism rates continues to rise)

As everyones said though its indervidual choice. I know its an issue some people feel very strongly about!

wow this has got everyone talking

i havent recieved a letter about mmr but then i wouldnt cos they forget about us being away

got drs tomorrow so will talk to the nurse about it

have no regrets about getting max vaccinated against mmr and having him done early at that-he seems perfectly normal to me so far.  tom will also be done without a doubt

crikey the amount of jabs my wee ones have had youd think they were ickle pin cushions

what a meany mum i am!

ps max was 2 and a half mths old when he contracted viral meningitis and i would do everything in my power not to have to go through nearly losing a child again.
