Single Measles, Mumps and Rubella in Tucson Area

Do any of you know where we can get single vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, as opposed to MMR? I have an 11 month old son who will need vaccination next month, and with measles going around I'd like to get him protected, however, I'm not too thrilled about giving him MMR. Please advise!
