April 29, 2009: MMR
Today is the day of the the much dreaded MMR vaccine for Alexia, my 13 month old baby.
“The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;”
Yep, at 20 I never worried about the links between the MMR vaccine and autism. Despite various studies discrediting the original “MMR-causes-autism” study, a small part of me is still a bit worried. And I have an MD Geneticist brother who explain everything in detail to me of why I shouldn’t worry.
I guess I’m a worrier?
