Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 We checked my NT daughter's titres before getting her her kindergarten vaccinatiions, and she has immunities for everything but mumps. Her pedi is recommending that she get a mumps booster. Is this considered a safe, benign vaccine? Even though she is considered NT, she does have some attention and behavioral issues. She regressed and became autistic-like for a brief time after her second MMR- so I want to keep her safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Maybe there is an immunological reason that after two MMR vacs that she is not developing immunities!! I would not, absolutely not immunize her and instead, take the risk of her getting this manageable illness if it so occurs--however, probably not that likely. I believe children w/ neurological and immunological disorders (any child on the spectrum, or ADD, ADHD, etc) should not be immunized especially against things that are manageable. But again , there is a reason she is not becoming immune...I wouldnt try again.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Mumps is only serious for males who have reached puberty. Rubella is serious for females who have reached puberty. Measles affects everyone. If your child is a girl and not yet reached puberty, personally I would let her just " get the mumps " . She is young, and she is not male. She has immunity already to the two diseases that are important for girls.
