I have heard that if the child has been diagnosed with autism in early childhood but parent does not declare upon Pri 1 enrolment, does that mean the school take in the child with autism without any knowledge that the child was previously diagnosed if the parent choose to hide it?

It is possible for parents not to declare. Whether is to the child's benefit or not is another matter.

Hi phtthp,


if you don’t intend to let your dd get the measles shot, that’s the one highlighted in the report, how will you get your child protected against the disease ?

That claim has been discredited multiple times. However, as with everything else, a small number of children may have adverse reactions to the vaccines for a variety of reasons - allergies or whatever. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell until the child has had the vaccine, so it's pretty much luck of the draw, really. But I think the advantages of vaccination outweighs the very small risk of reaction.

I don't know if there's a dateline. The vaccination will be carried out in P1. The school sent out the infor and consent form to parents. Subsequently, health checks was conducted including the vaccinations. I did not give consent so dd1 didn't rec her shot in school.

In all, I rec'd one letter and two calls to remind me abt the vaccination heehee

Herd immunity. However, if everyone starts to think that herd immunity will protect their child and so decide against vaccination, then it will no longer work and unvaccinated children will cease to have that degree of protection.

Also, children who are unvaccinated by choice run the risk of infecting other children, namely those who, for reasons like allergies and illness cannot be vaccinated themselves and thus rely on herd immunity to protect them.

Don't think will be as effective. My GP told me the reason why the MMR booster shot is brought forward is there are numbers to suggest need the booster shot earlier to help protect more effectively against the diseases. There were kids who were infected though they had the 1st shot. I forgot to ask her if the kids are fr Singapore or other countries.

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?

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.

My gal took her 1st chickenpox vaccine last oct..do you have to take 2nd dose of chickenpox vaccine? My boy born in 2008 only took 1 chickenpox vaccine (individual shot, not combined with MMR), my gal born 2011 took MMRV shot.Maybe individual chickenpox vaccine is stronger hence his sister got chickenpox, he didn't got it from her.
