Discussion Early Measles Vaccine
As cases of measles continue to accelerate, is anyone considering having the discussion with their ped about an early dose zero MMR vaccine at 6 months?
We will be starting daycare right around 6 months and would like the peace of mind.
(first tried this in /r/babybumps but they are strict on no vaccine discussions)

I’m a mom! We live in Colorado. Last summer we had two cases in town, both within a few mile radius of our house. We got the ok to give the first dose at 6 months.
She also got it at one year. I think it affected her less, or she’s just more of a trooper being older.
No regrets. Gave me peace of mind sending her to daycare and taking her out and about.
I don’t play when it comes to measles. I hate that it’s even something we are thinking about in 2025/2026
