hi all
oopsee, didnt mean to start this autism scare with my qn & then disappear...
most times hv to wait til after kiddo slps b4 i hv a breather to myself & can access computer (hence this late post hehe)
anyway, i was sick all wkend & saw GP 2day to get MC...decided to ask him abt MMR.
he said no link & tt sm mummies delay MMR shots up til the year b4 they enrol their kids in school!
so he said to brg C in @ 24mths if i'm concernd abt this autism link - giv me time to research & read up on this link as well as for C to build up her immunity as she gets older.
but i'l get 2nd opinion fr Paed cuz Jappooh mentiond 17mths...maybe early prevention is gd too
he said the delay is ok cuz many kids are sick & hv to postpone shots or like sm mummies here report abt filled appt slots.
if i rmbr rt, the scare was abt teh high fever causing autism, but seems to be jus theory, no concrete proof. but htis is worrying:
