I don't want to spark a debate on the MMR, and I'll not respond to the
people that will respond to this thread in an angry manner as I've made my
decision after a lot of research.I have my reasons for this, and I don't
want to go in to them. I don't want to appear grumpy, I've just seen similar
topics on here get nasty, and I don't want that. Thanks - I'll write my
little post now


*



My DD will will having separate measles mumps and rubella injections. I just
wondered if any other UK posters have done this, and if so which clinic they
went to etc. I'm really just seeing if anyone was pleased enough with their
clinic to recommend one to me. I'm in the south-east, but I'd be prepared to
travel if there's an outstanding clinic elsewhere. I know it's the same
stuff wherever I go, but you get a good vibe from some places, that's what
I'm after - oh, and obviously one that's fully licenced!

Thanks

There's several in London, that where people from here go. There's also at
least one in B'ham. I'll see if I can find anyone willing to admit where
they went.
Ask them about storage of the vacines. There was some independent research
done which showed that a proportion (can't remember what it was) of private
places just shove all the vacines in the same storage irrespective of the
correct storage. I found this when I was looking into getting the oral polio
(which apparently is more effective than the jab, but very fussy about
temperature in storage). I decided the risk in not getting the proper
storage was too high, so got the jabs.
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.)

I personally have not used the separate Jabs but my good friend has had both
her Children vaccinated separately and I think she went to a clinic in
Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

If this is of any help to you I can get the details from her and let you
have them.

Regards

Debbie

BTW - Each time she visits the GP she is always asked why she hasnt had the
MMR done and each time she tells them both her children have had the
separate jabs but it does not appear in their notes.

I don't have any real evidence, but I think some of us just don't stay
immune to Rubella. I had a booster in college (mumps was going around)
and when tested while my pregnant with DD1 (when I was 32) I was
found not to be immune. So I got the booster after DD1 was born.
3 years later when pregnant with DD2 my titer was equivocal. Since
I'm done having kids, I've given up with getting the booster.

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.

Writing a letter directly to the practice manager is probably a more
effective way of getting it on your records. The problem is that if you
tell the GP during a consultation, he or she will be busy and needing to
get on to the next person and may either forget or not have time to take
the few minutes needed to mark it in the notes. (Since GPs don't
normally record vaccinations, it takes a few minutes to figure out how
to record them properly with the software. When you know you're running
late and have a queue of patients still to see, it's too easy just to
not bother right then!)


All the best,

Sarah
