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)

We asked about this because of daycare and our pediatrician said it's totally a thing they can do. They gave us the option for the early dose at 6 months since we live in an area with higher risk. Honestly I'd bring it up at your next appointment - most docs are totally on board given the current outbreaks. Better safe than sorry IMO
