Measles and mumps vaccination
Does anyone know if you can get the single measles or mumps vaccination anywhere in Pan Asia, ie via a private company or clinic? I am currently living in South Australia and can only source the single rubella here.
Cheers

Re: Measles and mumps vaccination
Hi, somebody will answer but probably no-one whose read the post knows the answer at the moment.... I dont.
All I know is that my 2 year old was totally up to date with his vaccinations when we left UK and as soon as we got here he needed 7 more jabs (ouch) to catch up with NZ. Hope somebody can give you the answer you need.
Cheers, SarahB

Re: Measles and mumps vaccination
The MMR Injection is given as one.
The New Zealand immunisation schedule from February 2006 is:
* DTaP-IPV (Diphtheria - Tetanus - acellular Pertussis - Inactivated Polio Vaccine) + Hib/HepB (Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) - Hepatitis B) and MeNZB™ (Meningococcal B) at ages 6 weeks and 3 months.
* DTaP-IPV + HepB only + MeNZB™ at age 5 months.
* MeNZB™ at 10 months, or at least 4 months after the third dose, for children who had started MeNZB before 6 months of age [see also the Special Vaccination Programme subhead below for information on this programme]
* Children of Hepatitis B positive mothers also need an extra dose of Hepatitis B vaccine plus immune globulin at birth.
* MMR (Measles - Mumps - Rubella) vaccine + Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) at 15 months.
* MMR + DTaP-IPV at age 4 to 5 years prior to school entry.
* dTap-IPV (adult Diphtheria - Tetanus - acellular Pertussis - Inactivated Polio Vaccine) at age 11 years.
* Td (adult Diphtheria - Tetanus) boosters at 45 and 65 years of age or after some injuries if it is more than five years since the last booster - check with your local medical centre [a charge may apply for these boosters].
* BCG is given at birth to babies living in households with people who have, or have had tuberculosis (TB) or there are immigrants from countries where TB is common.
Vaccine key
DTaP = Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis
IPV = Inactivated Polio Vaccine
Hib = Haemophilus influenzae type b
HepB = Hepatitis B
MMR = Measles, Mumps, Rubella
dTap = Diphtheria, Tetanus, accellular Pertussis adult dose
Td = Tetanus-diphtheria - adult dose
ADT = Adsorbed Diptheria, Tetanus.
