MMR review argues against single jabs

A review of all the scientific research to date on the triple measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine shows that there is no case for introducing the vaccines in single doses, according to the authors. Professor David Elliman, of St George's Hospital, London, and Dr Helen Bedford, of the Institute of Child Health, published their review in the British Medical Journal's specialist publication Archives of Disease in Childhood in September and concluded that worries over the controversial MMR are unjustified.
