Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I would recommend your friend to ask her doctor to run the following lab tests to make sure her baby's immune system is healthy for the vaccinations. Some children have immune deficiencies that are clear contraindications for some vaccines per the manufacturer. For example the MMR vaccine is contraindicated for hypogammaglobulinemic children low in immunoglobulin G or its subclasses. MMR vaccine contraindications http://merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/m/mmr_ii/mmr_ii_pi.pdf Primary and acquired immunodeficiency states, including patients who are immunosuppressed in association with AIDS or other clinical manifestations of infection with human immunodeficiency viruses;41-43 cellular immune deficiencies; and hypogammaglobulinemic and dysgammaglobulinemic states. Lab tests to diagnose an autoimmune disorder 1. Immune Panel (to include the following) a) Total & Percent CD4 Total & Percent CD8 c) Total & Percent CD16 / CD56 d) Total & Percent CD19 e) NK function 2. Quantatative Immunoglobulins (IGG, IGA, IGM, IGE) 3. Immunoglobulin G Subclasses Hope this helps, http://www.stopcallingitautism.net/ > > Hi all, > I have a friend who has a 3 month baby who is on a modified vaccine scheduled. At one year old, the mother is thinking of the MMR, but her pediatrician says that Merck stopped producing separated MMR vaccines. Is this true? Does anyone know or recommend a good pediatrician who offers a separated MMR?
