taken from the bupa website.......
'No country recommends single rather than combined vaccines. There are a number of reasons why the vaccines aren't given separately. - Children would need three times as many injections (six in total), which is more unpleasant because of the pain from each jab and six episodes of possible side-effects.
- It could mean that fewer children have all the necessary vaccinations, increasing the levels of measles, mumps and rubella in the UK.
- There may be more delay before being completely vaccinated, leaving children at risk of infection from the diseases for longer.
- Single vaccines are not licensed in the UK, and have not passed the UK's safety and effectiveness testing. '
