Have you had your MMR jabs?

Nowadays, babies get their MMR jabs before their first birthday, and with the current measles outbreak there's been a lot of discussion about it recently. Anyways, I was on the forum's minecraft server and this topic sprung up, turns out I was the only person online to have had the vaccine, this just shocked me, why wouldn't you get vaccinated? So I just wanted to see how the forum shapes up...

Have you had your MMR jabs?

yeah i had it when i was like 7? and then in school about 3 years ago we were meant to get it again as a 'top up'
yet i was sick that day, then i was sick the day that the people who were sick were meant to get it
so i never got my top up

yeah, i'm pretty sure i got it when i was quite young. i remember we'd always have people coming into our school to give them to those who hadn't (probably happened every year)

Yeah, I had the first one when I was young and I had the rest in my last year at high school so I was 15/16

Never had it, nor any other vaccinations actually.

Better for the immune system to deal with disease itself then to have a vaccination after all.
