Seeking Moms That Are Interested in Seperating the MMR Vaccine

Updated on March 13, 2008

To minimize the risk of adverse effects on my son I have decided not to give the MMR at one time. I plan on vaccinating for the mumps first, then measels, then rubella. In order to accomplish this I need to find 9 other families that would like to take the same vaccination route as the manufactures only sell in packages of 10.

I am looking at ordering the mumps vaccine within the next 3 months.

What can I do next?

Hi C.-

I unfortunately cannot help you out since my son has already had two doses of the vaccine. However, I wanted to tell you that I've done some extensive research on the MMR shot since my son still has yet to get one more booster MMR. I talked to my son's physical therapist about the issues with the MMR shots as well. In all actuality it's not the MMR shot that causes children to develop metal disorders such as Autism. It's the preservative used in the shots that causes it. The preservative was taken out of the shots around 2000 but since a lot of doctors bought the shots in bulk some are still using the shots with the preservative in it. Anytime your child gets shots you'll want to ask your doctor if it contains the preservative in it. Hope this information helps you!

Can I ask you who is your pediatrician? I have a 3.5 yr old who hasn't got that vaccine for the same reason. My pediatrician didn't give me the option of separated vaccines. So I am interested. Can you give me more information?.

I don't have a child that young anymore, so I can't join you, but I want to applaud you for taking charge of your son's care and following your gut. I think that's really neat. Good luck!

I found the pharmacy where you can order the vaccines separate.

Hopewell Pharmacy and Compounding Center
http://www.hopewellrx.com .

They will overnight the single vile of M – M – R directly to you or your doctors office with Rx.

The vaccines are $39 each plus $35 S&H

I take it your doctor is willing to give the vaccines separate...Can you PLEASE POST YOUR PEDITRITIONS INFO HERE OR E-MAIL TO ME????

****If there is anyone in the San Antonio/Austin/Houston (TX) and surrounding areas who has a pediatrician they can referrer, please also e-mail me and / or post your Pediatrician’s info if they are willing to give the vaccines separate?***

My son is 18mo and I just spoke with his Pediatrician about this Tue. We are desperately looking for a Pediatrician that will give the shots separate because ours will not since they believe nothing is wrong with the combined MMR.

You can send the Pediatrician info here: ____@____.com
(Name of Doctor/ City /Phone number / Name of the practice if you have it)

Thanks in advance, Nakeisha Brown – Mommy Source member

That sounds like a great idea, as I haven't vaccinized my daughter because of severe allergies. I'm going to work with an allergy doctor who is probably going to put her on a modified schedule. However, sometimes I wonder if separating them may be a good idea because I had read that the individual vaccines do not come without the mercury? Of course I may be wrong, since the last time I read about this was about a year ago, and perhaps there have been some changes since then. Do you know if they are now thimersol free? Please feel free to email me back. I am very interested in this topic.J., author of HEART OF THE JAGUAR
