@ MMR Immunisation
N is due to get her first MMR now and I'm kind of dreading it. The reason? Anyone I've talked to recently their child has been in really bad form for a couple of weeks after getting it.
Does anyone have a more positive take on it for me? We've just got our happy girl back after a few weeks of illness so reluctant to "deliberately" put her in bad form...
Re: @ MMR Immunisation
The normal schedule here in the UK is this:
Between 12 and 13 months:
Some practices do the shots in two separate visits, so 3 shots at 12 months and then the MMR on its own at 13 months; however my GP practice nurse gave him all shots in one go (he was about 12.5 months old). Afterwards I thought, 'wow that's a lot of immunisations in one go' considering MMR is obviously a combo: so it's like 6 immunisations at once.
DS was unwell for several days exactly 10 days following the immunisations (the standard timeframe for 'reaction'). Obviously he could have picked up a bug or virus.
So my advice, based on my observational study of 1, is to not combine the MMR with other immunisations and plan for a few days of her being poorly 1-2 weeks afterwards.
Oh also here in London (well at least at my GP practice) they recommend the 2nd dose of the MMR is given at 18 months- as opposed to at 3 years. This is because there are cases of measles here.
Same here. The first round wasn't bad at all.
However, he got his booster a few months ago, and that was much worse. There was only one nurse, and since he's older and understands what's going on, it was difficult to hold him still when he knew shot # 2 was coming. Although about 30 seconds after, he was jumping around the office, laughing and popping bubbles the nurse was blowing for him
Thanks for the positives... at least I know there are some out there!
Dublin, here in Ireland the schedule is to get MMR (1st) & Pneumacoccal (3rd) vaccines at 12 months and then the Hib (4th) & Men C (3rd) at 13 months - spreading them out a little at least...
This!
And M has had her first MMR and was fine with it too.
Try not to worry!
I don't have children, but I've had 4 MMR vaccination shots. I was "off" for about two days after each one, and my arm hurt for about a week where the injection was.
It's not unusual to run a low-grade fever for a couple of days after having a vaccination shot, and I find I always do.
I?ve heard one person say that their kid ran a fever, but mine did not. But my DD never had any kind of reaction to her vaccines. I have to get another MMR in a few weeks, myself.
dd got a cold about 7-10 days later (just like they said you would) but it was not worse than any other cold
don't worry! it'll be fine
