live vaccine

Hi to all, silly question really,but my daughter is concerned because my 14 month old grandson is due to have the MMR VACCINE this Friday and she is worried that I may be at risk because it is a live Vaccine so can anyone give advice on this one I don't think that there is anything to worry about but would like to tell her that I've been on the web site and taken advise thanks Sue D

Hi Sue
I was advised not to change nappies and come into contact with bodily fluids when my grandaughter had her injections but I was just coming out of transplant and was very immunosuppressed. I would just say to be a bit careful for a few days but I cannot foresee any problems. Just leave the potty and nappies to others for a while !
See you in Edinburgh.

I was diagnosed with CML in Oct 2004. I also have worked, with CMl, in a live virus manufacturing facility. You are perfectly safe the virus is modified to produce anti-bodies and not give you the disease.
