Should All Children Have The MMR Vaccine?

Yeah, i think there should not be any compromise of any sort of vaccination including MMR. There are many counties in world where a huge population can be saved through vaccination. Although United Nation has taken initiatives in many countries by providing financial assistance for various types of vaccinations.

Anyone that CAN take mmr should. My son had a reaction to the pertussis shot in that mixture, which put him at risk for boosters of that drug. They give detailed instructions with the vaccinations, they need to be read and thoroughly understood. Report any unusual reactions to your pediatrician or health agency at once.

In the u.s.a. I believe it is mandated as a requirement to enter into the public school system (& some daycares) for a child to have all vaccinations including the mmr.

Yes, I believe children should have the MMR shot. Be careful where you get the shot. It's better to let your physician give the shot then go to the Health Department. Some places there is an extra ingredient put in the serum to preserve shelf life on some shots. This is where the debate comes in as to why more children are autistic.

It is a mandate for children to get the shot to enter school, and it is law that your child be in school when they come of age for it. (Which is why I think I might sue the school teachers next time they strike.)
That isn't the only reason for the shot, mumps, measles, and rubella are life threatening diseases which are contagious. There are newborn babies out there who are not fully protected from their vaccinations and are susceptible to the diseases. I highly recommend the vaccination for the safety of your child, and for other children at risk for contracting it. Hope this helps, good luck.

The thought of some types of vaccines are scary but the result of getting a infection or disease when it could have been protected by a vaccine is even worse.  The mmr vaccine protects against measles mumps and rebella but if your child contracted any of these because you did not vaccinate him or her they could also end up with autism.  One form of autism is related to mmr but not the vaccine.  If you are lucky enough to be in a place that you are able to vaccinate your children then I would do it.  I have two kids and they have all vaccines up to date.  I do have to admit the mmr vaccine was the one I was not sure about above all others.  My 3 year old has a mild case of autism which is something that is not easy to live with.  I hope this helps you in some way.

Vaccines are designed to help protect those at risk for contracting the disease against it. That includes the person receiving the vaccination and those around them, children and adults. Some people are immunocompromised, which means their immune system is especially susceptible to even mild infections turning them deadly. By vaccinating your child you can help prevent infection in them but especially in the immunocompromised population. Perhaps unvaccinated your child would be "under the weather" for a few days with some of the diseases vaccines are designed against. But if you brought your child around the immunocompromised person, that mild illness in your child could be life threatening to the other person.

Additionally, pregnant women exposed to certain diseases risk passing that infection on to their unborn child as a teratogen, where it would be life threatening to the unborn child. Deformities, brain impairments and even death can occur in the unborn child after exposure to an infection.

I do believe in the safety that is brought on by vaccinations. Consider that when determining if you should vaccinate.
