I don't usually stick my nose in here but it's important. Please look at the facts including http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/pages/mmr-vaccine.aspx People have a tendency to ignore the facts in front of them if they have a doubt, they may believe a made up hearsay story vs evidence based facts. It's how newspapers make people read their stories, if a bad thing happens to 1 person in a million they'll report that bad story so you have an emotional attachment and you think it could happen to you. Remember you are more likely to be in the 999,999 group. So please take stories from a stranger on a forum of "I know someone who was paralysed by it" in it's true context, look how many people are for it, including the medical bodies and then make a logical decision. If there was a measles outbreak in East Dulwich and a child died because a parent made the wrong decision because of what they read on the the forum I would be probably close the forum down.
