I'm not debating it: but do make sure you get all done, and start with
the measles. Too many people round here decide that they're going to have
it done, get the first done and then don't bother/forget/decide it's too
far to travel. Then wonder how their child got measles... it's obviously
a trick of the government!

Also: Make sure you get her levels checked once she hits puberty. My
american neighbour was vaccinated as a child but her rubella shot had
apparently either not "worked" or her antibody level had decreased
dramatically and she was not immune anymore.

(- in germany we have the "Mutterpass" which is a small booklet where all
blood test results, weight, bp, urine sample results, ultrasound
findings,... are recorded. We are advised to carry the Mutterpass with us
at all times while pregnant. That way, if something happens the info is
all right there.
That's how I know about her rubella vaccination not being effective
anymore.)

My doctor told me that you only stay immune for around 10 years or so, I
think this is one of the ones we get in a booster in junior high in Canada.
When we discussed my getting pregnant the first time, she gave me a slip to
get tested first, then when I wasn't immune, I got the booster before I was
pregnant.
