can any child get mumps although she had done 1st vaccinne at 18 months and she is now 9 years old?

The best place to get this answer is to ask your health care provider. They can test your child to see if he or she has the mumps immune antibodies in his or her blood. If not, then they can vaccinate.

Depends on who you ask. If you ask your dr. he'll say yes. If you ask parents who educate themselves on this issue, we'll say NO. It is much safer, if you do them at all, to ask your dr. to give your baby only a couple at a time. It means more injections for the baby, but it's less taxing on the immune system. Some kids have no problems with this. Thing is, when you go into the dr. to get the shots, you have no idea if your baby's immune system is low at that time. If for some reason it is, and you overload him/her with live viruses, it can be really hard for the immune system to react. This CAN cause the body to not be able to learn to fight the diseases, which is how immunizations work, and therefore the baby can get extremely sick from this. They can either develop the disease your trying to prevent or they can develop devastating consequences. I lost a baby cousin within 24 hours of receiving whatever it is they give at four months. It was written off as SIDS, because they are not required to do a toxocology report on an infant when it dies. I know of another baby personally that this happened to,also. I don't immunize my kids. I feel we live in a day and age that it's just not necessary. But that's my opinion. For people who insist on doing it, my plea is that you have it broken down into smaller amounts, or that you wait until the baby is older and their immune system has had a chance to develop some more. We worry about how their lungs will be developed when born, can they hear, are they turning over on time, but nobody seems to question the development of the immune system. And that's the one thing we can't really know about without testing them each time they get their shots.

It is estimated that children actually encounter and develop immunity to approximately 100 different viruses each year, most of which are subclinical.  Depending on your child's constitution, they may exhibit some minor symptoms such as you describe.  Then a few times a year, they may really get sick with one or more of the new viruses.  \n\nBTW, the number of viruses that adult encounter/develop immunity to is not much less than children.

Yes, there are. Autism rears it' ugly head too often shortly after receiving immunizations, I believe around 15 months, it's believed to be because of the MMR vaccine. But, I don't immunize, and my son has autism, so it's not exclusively from immunizations. He had signs from birth. That and the fact that it's very common to see autism in more than one family member, suggests that it can also be a genetic issue, too. The fact is, nobody knows for sure what causes it. But, when you look at the fact that thimerosol was heavily used as a preservative in immunizations, I believe around '98(don't quote me on that one, I learned all this a year ago so I might have the dates wrong) and we had a huge autism epidemic in 2000, you kind of have to raise your brow. I had a link that showed a study that was suppressed that says basically the amount of mercury in the MMR vaccine was so high, that it would only be safe if you were over 500lbs! Because this kind of information would cause an uproar, and would probably cause the immunization makers to go bankrupt when everyone stopped using them, it's not something that the CDC or anyone else is going to admit to until we've been poisoning our kids for another 30 years and they can get their facts. I will see if I can find that link about that study, I was infuriated to know that they found out about this six years ago and didn't share it with the rest of us. Just a side note: some believe that if everyone stopped vaccinating that all these diseases would take over. Well, it's a little known fact that when the immunizations first started, the diseases that kids were being immunized for had already been decreasing in new cases for YEARS. So, we really don't have any conclusive info on whether or not these immunizations are effective or not.\n\n\n\nI found more info. http://www.nomercury.org/science/documents/compare_ethyl_and_methyl.pdf\n\ngo here to see how they compare the mercury that's in thimerosol with the mercury the health industry admits is dangerous. There is no difference, as they claim.\n\nNow, go here to see how mercury can affect children. It doesn't speicifically say autism on this one, but it covers a lot of the typical symptoms of autism.\nhttp://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts46.html\n\nthis website seems to have a lot of info on autism.\nwww.mothering.com

if  youre child had the vaccine he shouldnt get the pox. well, it looks like raised bumps, red and is very itchy... i would call you pediatrician and have them look at him. my children had the vaccine and never had the pox.

Could be?\n\nMy son is severly autistic.  At about 12 months old he was developing perfectly (he has a sister who is 15 months older so we had a good recent example of developing infant).  Then an unexplained event occurred.  We do not believe it was a seizure but somewhere between the 12-15 months he recessed quickly but not immediately.  This is the time he received is first 12 month vaccinations.\n\nAt one point we thought he was deaf because he would no longer respond to our verbal requests and he (besides crying and laughing) went almost mute.\n\nThe only other recent bit of study that matched my son was the relevance to the size of the child's head.  My son was born with a larger than normal head not abnormal but definately large.  We had baby clothes given to us up until he was 2 years old that would not fit because it wouldn't go over his head.  The idea on this study is that the brain grows to fast and the wiring of the networks for the brain to run on are not developed correctly during those early critical months/years.\n\nLong answer - could be I don't think we'll know in my life time.

Certain vaccinations aren't recommended during pregnancy. The CDC I believe has a chart of recommended vaccination ages for children.  http://www.webmd.com/content/article/51/40824.htm \nhas a list of vaccinations that site considers safe and unsafe during pregnancy.

Yes. After I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, my mother decided not to vaccinate my youngest sister, who is 11 years younger than me. She was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is also on the autism spectrum.

i disagree with the mmr any way the best way to help protect your child is to have the single vacinse they are much safer than the mmr and they dont contain egg

I had the Chicken Pox when I was 2(that's very young to get them). I remember it well. After that, no memories until I was 4. It must have been the traumatic experience. It makes sense now that I hear about yours.

I heard in the news that half of the infected people were vaccinated.  It was an interview with some public health offical on NPR.  He was saying that because of this outbreak, it may be necessary to reevaluate the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine.

I agree, check with your doctor to be sure. I am not sure from the way you have listed things above exactly what shots you got when. It would be unusual to get a Pertussis only, for instance, and I'm guessing you got a DPT in 92 and again in 98. In that case, you are not due a DT booster (i.e. Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoid) until 2008. It's every ten years from here on in.

The vaccines are a small dose of the actual virus so it is no coinsidence. It would be a good idea to boost her immune system .. the best natural way I know is with Xango an incredible product.

In cases without complications, mumps is treated with bed rest and care at home.\n\nHome treatment includes medicines you can buy without a prescription to relieve pain and reduce fever. Acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (for example, Advil, Motrin, Aleve) are often used. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because of its link to a rare but serious illness called Reye's syndrome.\n\nComplications may require treatment in the hospital. Medications to relieve pain associated with orchitis, meningitis, pancreatitis, and other complications may be given. Treatment with other medications, such as interferon for severe orchitis, is experimental. Antibiotics are not given to treat mumps or other viral infections.

I WOULD FIND A NEW DOCTOR I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING IS WRONG BUT IF SHE SHOWS NO CONCERN SHE MUST NOT BE TO GOOD COULD MAYBE BE THE MUMPS

I could not disagree more strongly with the first two respondents.  Proponents of immunization will point out the decline in childhood illness since mass immunizations became popular.  They fail to point out the fact that these diseases declined in European countries around the same time, BEFORE these countries initiated mass immunizations for children.  A more likely explanation for the drop in childhood illness in the improvement of sanitation that we saw at this time.  In fact, every known case of polio in the U.S. since the 1970's was caused by the vaccine.\n\nWhat childhood diseases are we afraid of anyway?  Mumps?  Mumps is an innocuous viral disease that requires no medical treatment.  Bed rest for two or three days and a soft food diet with plenty of fluid will offer the child a lifetime of immunity (something no vaccine can offer).  The mumps vaccine is usually administered along with measles and rubella -a vaccine combination that is loaded with mercury and is implicated in the shocking rise in the prevalence of autism.\n\nMeasles?  Another viral disease that requires no medical treatment.  The medical community will attempt to justify the vaccine be quoting the statistic of 1/1000 developing a type of encephalitis.  my own research and experience causes me to question this statistic.  In the middle and upper income brackets in this country, this stat is more like 1/10000.  Rare.\n\nRubella?  Pertussis?  Chicken Pox?  None of these diseases are exceedingly dangerous in this day and age, and contracting them naturally offers lifetime immunity.  This, without the dangerous side effects of the vaccines designed to treat them.\n\nI won't keep writing about all of the dangers of vaccines, but I will suggest that the single most important thing that you can do for your child is to breast feed her... a lot.  Breast milk IS her immune system for the first three months, and the microbes that she comes in contact with on mom's nipple will gently introduce her to new challenges to her immune system.  The child's nervous system is about 80% developed when he is 2 years old.  If one must get immunizations, waiting until the age of 2 will give the child the best chance to avoid injury.  (Japan's current immunization schedule begins at age 2.  Since the change in this schedule SIDS has all but disappeared).\n\nDr.B.H.

If you don't get the full series of shots, you won't develop the immunity.  Even after getting the whole series, some people will need boosters after a few years.  \n\nI recommend borrowing the money if possible, because if you don't, you'll have thrown away what you paid for the first shot.  Good luck!
