Why should I immunise my child with the Separate MMR Vaccinations?
Children that are not immunised against Measles, Mumps and Rubella are at risk from catching the diseases and rely on other people immunising their child in order to avoid infection. Due to ongoing media speculation surrounding the controversial MMR vaccine and its links to autism and bowel disorders, numerous parents are reluctant to vaccinate their children. In spite of reassurances, many still have anxieties and therefore do not vaccinate at all. If more parents choose not to immunise their child, more children will become susceptible to the diseases and the chances of an outbreak occurring increases. It is strongly recommended by the Department of Health that all children must be vaccinated against Measles, Rubella and Mumps. Separate MMR vaccines are therefore offered as an alternative to those parents whose children may otherwise go unvaccinated.
