  • My DS is doing his final 'settling in' period at nursery today, and was meant to be starting tomorrow properly, but obviously I will be keeping him at home because of the jab and will make sure I give him plenty of cuddles!

    You don't even take him seriously,
    How am I going to get to heaven?,

    The MMR is perfectly safe - however it would be normal for your child to get a slight fever and some soreness afterwards. The nurse will most likely recommend calpol (or similar) if this occurs.
  • My son is having his MMR today having had his 12 month jabs separately. From what I've heard from other parents, the reaction to the MMR can take a bit longer to show itself than other jabs so up to 10 days or so. Just something to bear in mind in case he seems fine then becomes poorly.
