When Sense started in 1955, rubella in pregnancy was the main cause of congenital deafblindness. Thanks to vaccination, this is much less common and Sense wants to keep it that way.
Sense recognises the difficult decisions parents have to make. We believe you have the right to make an informed choice about vaccination, based on all the information available - but Sense is confident that the MMR vaccination is the safest way to protect your child and other children. If you are thinking of becoming pregnant, get immunised. Your doctor or nurse can test your immunity levels and recommend vaccination if needed.
