UK M+M+R clinics
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 Lucy x |

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! Debbie |

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.) cu nicole |

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. Mary W. |

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!)
