On behalf of concerned parents: The manufacturer Merck is the ONLY producer of the MMR vaccinations and currently have halted any further production of the single vaccinations of measles, mumps and rubella. At this time, only the combined MMR vaccine is available to our children. As parents and future parents currently have no other choice with the current vaccinations offered (other than no vaccination at all), in that Merck is the sole provider of said, the below demonstrates the demand of those parents who would require single dose vaccinations of each (measles, mumps, rubella)for their children. It is understood that Merck is currently considering producing said vaccines in two years, but the public entitlement to health, hygiene, and safety should waive said waiting period to begin production immediately. Consideration is not on option, as we feel this to be a requirement of the Merck company. As a company that solely represents this required vaccination for any child to enter public schools, child care, and for parent's peace of mind, we strongly urge you to begin producing the single dose vaccines and that they be made readily available without issue or compromise to quantity, quality or availability to doctors in any area of our 50 US states.
The momentum behind this request confirms that families across the country remain firm in their desire for medical choice. This level of engagement reinforces our position as we prepare to present these concerns to the leadership at Merck.

I think the MMR vaccine is the most controversial vaccine out there. My child had a severe reaction from it and I will never give it to him again, unless it's seperated for one at a time!!! We deserve to at least choose. I don't care if i have to pay more for it either, if it's the best choice for my child, so be it!!!!!

It is important that people have a choice in taking vaccines. Parents shouldn't have to give their infants three vaccines all at one time. If we are forced to vaccinate them, we should at least be able to split them up. The maker of the vaccine should be required to offer these vaccines separately. I feel it is an invasion on my child's body to force three vaccines on him at one time. WE ALL deserve this choice!

Big pharma should not take our OPTION to protect our children away from us. The government needs to force Merck to make single doses available so we can spread them out if we so choose.

Please give us the choice to vaccinate our children with one live virus at a time.
