To those of you who would prefer to be offered the option of single vaccines & not forced to having MMR (or paying privately for separate jabs), there is a petiotn on the No10 website, petitioning for parent choice in wheter to have single or combined:

petitions.number10.gov.uk/Single-vaccines

I have also read today that there is an outbreak of mumps & that the mumps component of the MMR may not give adequate protection. Not sure how true this is as read it on dh2 website, but can send ppl link if they wish to read it.

ive got no problem with the MMR atall , i think they dont offer single vaccines as it increases the length of time a child is unprotected from some off the illnesses, and i believe they havnt been approved by the government for safety etc.. ( dont quote me on that , just what i have been told )
i guess maybe it would be nice to be offered achoice but im not really bothered by it
