An old MMR post
I'm looking for a member who replied to an old post about mmr jabs. I can't for the life of me remember who posted the topic or who it was that replied but the person it was were saying they had decided to go for the separate jabs as their lo was allergic to egg and because the mmr was cultivated in egg they had decided to go for separate jabs privately as the nhs wouldn't do it.
Does anyone remember this topic and can you remember who posted it or maybe it's you who is reading this now?
I just need to ask a quick question. xxx

So what I wanted to ask hun was we have the same prob with Kade but when we phoned up to ask, they told us the same thing thing that he would have to be done under 'hospital supervision' to which we replied no chance.
Anyway we called a private hospital and they told us the separate ones were too cultivated in egg!!!
This has left us completely baffled and not sure what to do next ?
Did we get through to some numpty who didn't know what they were on about or what? Really want to get him done asap but not sure where to go from here?

I've just found my topic on it and it was a lady called SMJ44 who posted about her LO.
TBH I thought they did contain egg even if single, but we're going for single because of the autism link, not the egg intolerance.

Can an MMR Vaccine be given to an individual with an egg allergy?
The recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) acknowledge that the MMR vaccine can be safely administered to all patients with egg allergy. The AAP recommendations have been based, in part, on overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the routine use of one-dose administration of the MMR vaccine to egg-allergic patients. This includes those patients with a history of severe, generalized anaphylactic reactions to egg.
I too had heard they are safe to give but am not keen because of kades serious reaction.
Just wondered what the other ladies experience was in relation to the allergy.
tbh we'll probably end up giving it him anyway but would just be good to know of any risks.
thanks again hun xxx
I think it costs us about ??50-??80 a jab (not 100%?) separate so ideally it'll all be together
Did you get them done singular and if so how much it set you back?
For us though a small price to pay for piece of mind!
HTH

Phew, that's expensive isn't it? I'm gonna have a chat with hv this week although something tells me that'll be a waste of time lol
I agree that it's peace of mind though.
Thanks for your reply lynz, that's reassuring to know that your lo didn't have a reaction. Bit miffed with our docs as they obviously know all about his allergy but have never warned us anything about the mmr so we'd have just gone ahead without even doing it in hospital, if it wasn't for this site I would have been clueless!
Thank god for be

Dr Andrew whatsit has since retracted his link with autism saying the research was flawed.
