Late MMR?
LO is 14 months, we were on holiday, then LO has had a host of illness. My doctors will only do them on a thursday between 1-2pm so for us working mums...not the most helpful. So I have this thurs off but now LO is v poorly with a cold and conjunctavitus.
Then we are on holiday so he wont be able to get it done until 16 months......is this very bad? can it be late? did you have yours later?

Probably only more of a risk if they are mixing with lots of children at nurseries or such-like I guess, although you would hope that the majority of the babies/children would have been vaccinated so the risk would be quite small.
It is more important your LO is in good health as the MMR can make them feel poorly after anyway.
Like a PP said, if your LO is mixing with lots of other kids, then I'd ask your GP but should be ok. xx
Like mrs b84 says better to have it late than not at all!
I had mine at age 6. My baby brother was the right age and me and my sister older. That was when it was brand new though!!!

My DD2 had her MMR at almost 4 years old. This was due to her being on medication and the consultants wouldn't risk them mixing her medication with the MMR vaccine as it could have been very dangerous for her. Hope that makes you feel at ease alittle x
