I was a child born in 1984. My parents refused to give the MMR jab to both myself and my brother due to the link with autism. In the little town in which I grew up we had two cases of kids developing severe autism after the MMR jab. There was an interesting article I read ( in Italian unfortunately) that explained the link with the old jab containing a high level of nickel and autism. I read so many more articles against and pro MMR and I think that each parent has to think about what it is best for its children. I grew up with very few jabs in me (tetanus, polio, epatitis) and I did the MMR at the age of 24 years to avoid getting German measles as an adult.
