Query about MMR vaccine
Hello Doc!
My baby is 10 months old. We gave her MR vaccination from the government health centre. We are now confused whether to give MMR vaccine for baby from the private clinic as the only exception here is measles.
Primarily, we are giving vaccinations from government side and the vaccines that aren't available here, like influenza, we are getting it from private.
Now I am confused whether to get MMR vaccination or not. Please suggest

You should take MMR vaccine because Mumps disease is not covered by MR vaccine. It is not very costly. Mumps can cause severe problems and outbreaks have occurred recently. Even if you have taken MR, take MMR as per your private pediatrician advise
