Parents Needed for MMR Vaccine Experiences in UK Pre-Schoolers
Vaccines in pre-school children
Hi All,
Did you get your child vaccinated? Why, or why not?
I'm writing a piece looking at MMR vaccines in pre-school children, and I'm looking to speak to some parents with experiences and opinions on the matter.
Since Covid, there's been a decrease in pre-school aged children getting vaccinated and I'm keen to know why. This is reflected in the decrease in infants and toddlers who have received the MMR vaccine, and the fact that the WHO recently said the UK has lost its measles elimination status.
I wanted to get in touch with parents who have and haven't had their children vaccinated, to discuss your reasonings and experiences. While I know this could be sensitive, I'm also keen to speak to anyone who didn't get their child vaccinated for a certain illness, and the child then got that illness, as well as anyone who has changed their mind on their previous view on vaccines (whether for or against).
This is for an article I'm writing for my journalism master's course - it won't be published and will only be seen by my tutor's. There's no judgement for this and I'm not going to be analysing anything you say - I just want to speak to people with as many different views on this as possible.
If anyone's happy to talk about their decisions please feel free to comment below or, if you'd prefer, please email me on: [email redacted]
All the best
