Bromley

A nurse handles a syringe at a medical centre in Ashford, Kent, similar to those which will be used for a new combined jab for babies. The vaccination will protect children against Diptheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Hib and Polio and will be administered to babies over two-months-old later this year. Plans for a shake-up of the vaccine regime for babies are being formally unveiled by senior health officials today. But health campaigners and politicians have warned the Government that it risks a repeat of the MMR controversy unless more reassurances are given about the safety of a new five-in-one immunisation jab. The Government's plans for a combined vaccination emerged over the weekend, when the Department of Health also confirmed that mercury is to be removed from the whooping cough vaccine. 10/09/04: There is no evidence to support a link between the controversial MMR jab and the development of autism in children, researchers said Friday September 10, 2004. Concern about a reported link between the triple vaccine and the disorder has led to a drop in the number of parents getting their children vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella in the UK. *07/12/04: Immunisation against infectious disease has saved more lives than any other public health intervention in Irish history, apart from providing clean water, it is claimed. Minister of State Tim O'Malley urged parents to ensure their children were protected against infectious diseases.
