even though one of diseases poses no risk at all to children (rubella)


Rubella(german measles) can cause miscarriage and severe birth defects if a pregnant woman gets it. So...if a small child were to get it say from daycare...then expose their pregnant mother with it...this could be a serious problem.

I understand who is at risk with rubella but the adult can also ensure that she is vaccinated. Like I said we are wanting our kid's immune system to fight 3 weakened viruses at once.

A lot of Drs and not just reality TV stars had serious concerns with the 3 in one MMR when single M, M, and R vaccines were working just fine.

There are more than just 2 categories of people when it comes to vaccines. Some folks, myself included, feel it is extremely important to have an honest discussion with your child's Dr about what is about to be injected in him/her. Parents need to know the side effects in case something was to happen. Drs need to be well versed to explain to parents what to expect.
