Hi
Our baby will be due his MMR jab (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at the end of the year and its time to think about making a decision as to whether we should give him the jab. Normally I would have no hesitation, but a close friend has an autistic boy who was totally fine before he had the MMR and then had problems very shortly after the jab. My friend in convinced that the jab was the cause and although he didn't advise us either way, he pointed out the facts of what happened to their child. I know its our decisions but I'm really scared to give him the jab. If he didn't have it, what possible problems could it cause? Should we just let our little boy get measles?
I'm confused about all of this conflicting information! Then on the news the other day it stated that incidences of autism have increased since the introduction of MMR. What do you all think? Any info appreciated!
