Re: MMR and immunisations
Seeing an OB/GYN at that age would probably be because of menstrual problems. A lot of pediatricians do not like to deal with these problems and also a lot of times it is preferred by the insurance company to see a specialist. Remember it is not unusual for young girls to be as young as 9 when they begin their periods nowadays

Re: MMR and immunisations
My doctors in England couldn't find a bunch of my vaccinations (Go the NHS!)
For my Visa app, I had to have Tetanus/Diphtheria (ouch!), I also had to have the MMR, because they only gave the Rubella jab when I was a kid, the MMR wasn't about till 88 in England I am told.
As for the MMR, God, now I know why babies cry with it. I don't care about needles and hardly feel them, but THAT thing is like having hot acid injected. The nurse kindly warned me "It's going to hurt a lot, but don't move because it won't all go in and you'll need another one." heh.
Lastly was the TB skin test and HIV test.
$375 later
