Why doesn the UK Government offer separate vaccinations as an alternative to MMR?
The UK Government claims that there is no credible evidence linking MMR to autism, IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), or other serious health problems such as Crohn’s disease. Critics point out that the UK Government does little to promote research exploring possible links, and even actively attacks the reputation of anyone who criticises its policy. It is certainly true that MMR avoids the risk that parents will not complete the full course of separate vaccinations. And it is also true that MMR is cheaper to provide than separate vaccinations.
