I have seen articles that talk about getting the MMR as three separate shots, but my pediatrician does not offer this. Does anyone know of a source for separate shots?
Hi S.-
I have a 9 month old son and he has been getting the shots seperatly. It's what my pediatrician and his group of doctors recommend. It's actually the only way they offer the MMR. Our doc is Dr. William Seitter. Good luck!
I would check into the County Health Department (sometimes they have shot clinics), schools sometimes offer shot clinics. I am not sure if either would do that but you could call and ask.
Your pediatrician can't recommned someone/somewhere? I guess I got lucky because my daughters pediatrician did all 3 of hers.
Hi S.,
You may simply try the phone book and call other pediatricians in your area.
Personally, I no longer vaccinate. My youngest actually got a disease (Mastocytosis) due to vaccines (I believe the MMR...it's been so long). I also know many people who had children who were perfectly normal until the MMR (some reacted to other vaccines; but MMR seems to be a common one for difficulties). Additionally, they can contribute to long term issues, like Candida (yeast overgrowth), which is very common today.
Also, statistics show a natural decline of many of the diseases BEFORE vaccines were introduced and than an INCREASE AFTER the vaccines were introduced. I feel it best to keep a healthy immune system versus subjecting the body to a harmful substance.
Everyone has their own position on this; but I felt compelled to share mine.
Best of luck to you.

We considered doing that too (we eventually settled on non-vaccination for now). I have heard that you can get them at some sort of county health offices (where you would go to get travellers' vaccines, etc.). Unfortunately I can't tell you more than that, but it might give you a clue of where to look! Best wishes!
alternatively, you could decide on a delayed schedule for vaccines - the mmr can be administered more safely after 28 months.
there ARE currently 10 cases of confirmed measles in tucson and 2 unconfirmed here in the metro area - this was as of last week - per our pediatrician.
i was told by a friend whose nephew is autistic that most kids start to show signs of autism before 28 months.
if a vax is given after that time, it's probably not the main trigger for the autism.
it could make things worse than they already are, but if there are no signs by that age, there may not be any on the way.
HOWEVER - there is sharp division between those who vaccinate and those who do not - i'd look into that doc that gives them seperately - my doc wouldn't .
