A member asked:
I read an article that said delaying the mmr vaccine in a child after 15 month of age increases chances of febrile seizures. why? my son is scheduled to get it at 16 months. he couldn't get it at 15 months due to a cold. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really. The odds for toddlers to experience febrile seizure are higher in those with positive family history of febrile seizure, and in those receiving the combination vaccine, MMRV (MMR and varicella).

Confused Dad: My son's vaccine schedule calls for Measles (0) vaccine at 6 months, then MMR (1) at 12 months and MMR (2) again at 6 years. Is Measles (0) vaccine necessary at 6 months? A few studies suggest lower protection with early immunization.
