The plan is that after their first birthday children will be offered 3 seperate injections to immunise against: Measles Mumps Rubella Pneumonia 2 types of menigitis The reason for this change is to boost vaccination rates. Ever since the tabloid press caused a wave of panic over the MMR vaccination (all based on false evidence, the doctor behind it was struck off the medical register) rates of vaccinations have reduced. This has led to a rise in the spread of viruses, and many of these can be fatal or lead to permanent disability. 95% of the Population Has To Be Vaccinated To effectively stop the spread of viruses 95% of the population must be vaccinated. At the moment the UK falls a long way short of this.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/one-year-olds-to-get-6-in-1-vaccination/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The MMR Debate.

There has been a dangerous increase in the rates of Measles developing in children, which is attributed to the fact that many parents are refusing to give their children the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine due to the concern that it causes autism. However, there is no proof that there is a connection between MMR and Autism. In fact, research has concluded the opposite, i.e. that there is no relationship at all between MMR and the development of Autism. The New Scientist published results of research, but this has so far not stamped out the irrational fear that many people have. The problem is mostly fuelled by the tabloid press writing sad stories about children developing Autism shortly after having the MMR vaccine. However, the fact is, that children are likely to develop Autism at around the same time that MMR is given, therefore, there will always appear to be a connection. The whole issue started out after the &#8220;Wakefield&#8221; report appeared in the tabloid press. &#8220;Parents need have no more fears about the triple vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. A study of more than 30,000 children in Japan should put [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/the-mmr-debate-is-it-safe-does-it-cause-autism/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Facts about MMR Vaccine and Autism</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/the-facts-about-mmr-vaccine-and-autism</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/the-facts-about-mmr-vaccine-and-autism#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:23:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Family Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[autism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[measles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MMR vaccine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mumps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rubella]]></category> <guid

The MMR vaccine is composed of a weakened version of live measles, mumps and rubella viruses. As the viruses are weakened, a person that has just had the vaccine cannot infect other people. The MMR is normally given to children for the first time soon after their first birthday, as by this age the natural immunity that mothers pass on to their children will have faded. A booster jab is also given to children aged three to five. The MMR vaccine is highly effective against measles, mumps and rubella and has almost wiped out these diseases since it has been introduced in 1988. It has also been used in the United States for 15 years prior to the UK. Worldwide it has been given in over 100 countries. Is there a link between MMR and autism? Current studies show no link between MMR and autism. The assumption that MMR leads to autism started in 1998 after a group of scientists published a paper on 12 autistic children with bowel problems. Although this research did not prove there was [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/the-facts-about-mmr-vaccine-and-autism/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
