Don't be mad at me Jaysay, was just teasing..

Just heard a discussion too on the Jeremy Vine show .. both points put forward, and nothing further to add to what we have already discussed on this thread really, except one doctor was running a clinic for parents who requested the single vaccines.

Seems besides France, the U.S. adopt this policy too, and cannot start school without proof of immunisation/vaccination. Appears the 'culprits' are mainly travellers, immigrants with language problems and poorer communities.

A couple of callers to the programme suggested 1) Why don't we send all the non-MMR children to one school and 2) Perhaps the schools should issue figures to all parents to let them know the percentage of children who had not had the jab. Ah, well, food for thought I suppose.

The figures quoted on measles was 77 cases (think about 2 years ago ?) to 900 cases last year ... that is a big increase.

Both my kids have had all thier jabs, EVERY child should also have it too, as for the child benefit thingy, then that is wrong, like hitting someone in the pocket is going to change their mind

I just cant understand why any parent wouldnt protect their child from deadly dieseases....total madness!!

Who said they did not want to protect their children? Most parents against the triple jab want to be able to give their children the old 3 single jabs that most of us had as kids. The scare only came along with the triple jab.

The Governments only reason for having the triple jab is based on cost, not effectiveness.

I think some parents want their kids to have the single jab instead of the three together panther, I think what actually made thngs worse was the fact that Tony Blair would't say if his youngster had had the MMR jab or not.
Oh by the way saw you on Gladiators on Sky Saturday night panther
