Parents want government to offer separate injections for measles mumps, rubella: poll.(Brief Article)(Polling Data)(Statistical Data Included)
1902 MAR 27 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- One in five British parents would pay to give their children separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations rather than accept the free combined injection, according to a recent survey (See Vaccine Weekly, March 4, 2002) .
Seventy-three percent of parents with children under 5 who responded to the Guardian/ICM poll said they would accept the all-in-one jab in the absence of any freely available alternative - far below the 95% the government has said is needed to guarantee general immunity in the population.
Another 19% of parents were so worried about the combined vaccine's unproven link with autism that they were prepared to pay for separate injections, even if the cost were several hundred pounds. A further 4% said they would not inoculate their children against any of the three diseases.
Prime Minister Tony Blair's government has struggled to convince parents that the MMR vaccine - in use in some 90 countries - is safe.
