Dear friends
MMR is given regularly by the Bombay municipal corporation as a part of the
regular immunisation schedule since the last 2 yrs and is given free of cost to
all beneficiaries attending the municipal dispensaries and health posts.

Dear Friends
It is a shame that the Govt Immunization schedule does not have MMR included in
it. During the elections in this country no leader addresses the health aspects
as voters do not want / vote on those grounds.
But, not withstanding data or lack of it, as pointed out by one friend, Cong
Rubella Syn is seen with enough freqency (say as low as one case/ pediatriican/
year) to warrant routine MMR vaccination, much before HIB as is being touted in
some circles.
