Re: Getting MMR separated - An Alternative to one MMR shot.

[Guest guest]

Are you serious about this? When you separate them you get triple the amount

of toxic chemicals! Please think.

All the best,

Our doctor was able to order the M-M-R separately from (although they

were out of Mumps at the time) :

Hopewell Pharmacy

1 West Broad Street

Hopewell, NJ 08525

That was about 6 months ago and our nurse said they were reasonably priced.
