When Rebecca was born, I was obviously anxious to prevent any infection as far as she was concerned...so Daniel (who was then 16months old) was up to date on all his vaccines..he has had MMR, Chicken Pox, Hib, Polio, TB, and one other, whose name escapes me...Only Chicken Pox and the MMR are voluntary...kids can get the Measles only vaccine....BUT, because I had a scare with German Measles (Rubella) when I was pregnant with Rebecca,, I would rather prevent a disease that could have devastating effects for someone else....to say again, where I live, children are dying daily because of Measles......
