Is anybody scared of the recent measles outbreak, with regards to giving their child the mmr shot?

My son is 17 months old and I was going to wait until he was 2 to give him the mmr shot. Now with measles back in the US I feel he needs it now. I am going to buy the shots separately. anyone have any views on this?

i’d only ever consider single shots. my son hasnt had mmr, neither will my baby when he is born. my sister had an adverse reaction to mmr and we had to watch the bastards in the medical profession and government deny the link, even though the onset of effects began moments after she’d had the shot. she stopped talking and walking, and became a different child. she only resurfaced as the child we had known when she turned 5.
buy them seperately if youmust, i would if i could afford singles formy kids, but we are too poor at the moment and with the choice of a roof over our heads or vaccines, we have to pay our rent.
but look at your child. look at how he has developed, every milestone he has achieved. my sister lost everything, from saying nan nite sar sar before she’d go to sleep, to the sparkle in her eyesand being able to use her potty and walking, it all went. she reverted because of mmr, and the child i saw when i got homefrom school after she’d had it, was not the angel i’d wavedgoodbye to before going into school that morning.
protect your kids from the diseases, and also from the vaccine itself.

MMR can be given between 1 to 2 years old and is relatively safe unless your son has allergies to egg proteins or aminoglycoside drugs. In my country, there is a national immunisation schedule for all children born here and parents follow this schedule. Therefore, measles is a unheard of thing here.
There are pros and cons to immunisation. There has been some links between autistic spectrum diseases and certain vaccines but this has been proven not to be the case though. In my view its better to take the chance of getting the vaccine rather then getting the disease and suffering through it.
