Talk to your child's PD or GP about your concern. Does your child have the 1st MMR vaccination?

[lukemommy]

yes sahm_tan, my girl had her 1st MMR+chickenpox vaccine last oct and she got chickenpox in Jan but very mild chickenpox outbreak…guess will call her pd to ask should take 2nd dosage or not…don’t know if MOH read the article will suspend MMR vaccine for the time being or not?

[phtthp]

My child had taken the 1st mmr.

But after reading the article, I not going to let her have 2nd jab.
Scared !

My child has taken her 2nd MMR a year ago. She shows no signs of autism to date. It is \"Heng\" \"Suay\" thing. If the child is Suay, unlucky, will get. I heard of stories of children who had autism after MMR jab but then it's up to your doctor's advice to take or not.

Did your child take her first or second chicken pox vaccine last year? If first chicken pox jab, there is a possibility the child can still catch chicken pox. That's why my pd recommend to have 2nd chicken pox vaccine for children born in 2007. Extra protection hehe.

2007 not compulsory to have the jab.
But you can bring your child for the jab now. Can deduct by Medisave. I know because my child born in 2007 had 4 Pneumococcal jabs during infant. Her 5th latest Pneummococcal jab recommended by pd to take was taken a year ago. Deducted through Medisave.

I’ve checked with several pds about the mmr autism thingy , they said it’s not true. Debunked that myth many times over the last decade.

Anyway my kids both took 2 doses already.

The risks and likelihood of getting measles/mumps/rubella is much much higher than the correlation between mmr and autism.

Also, isnt asd normally diagnosed by 3 years old?

Both my kids had their mmr/mmrv. Did not really see the need to delay it.
