Is MMR Vaccination Recommendable?
Hi. Our son is three years, four months. he was born in Japan and so he was not given most of the shorts that kids from the rest of the world are given. For instance, he got MR, not MMR. Now he is three, and we left Japan. Should he get the MMR? Also, is it safe for him to get a yellow fever shot as well? We live in the tropics.
