Well, there's already the triple vaccine, what's wrong with that? the link to autism is being/has been discredited, and there's plenty of triple vaccines out there (e.g. diptheria/polio/tetanus) which nobody has complained about, so if you're so worried about a measles epidemic then get the MMR! Also, i think a certain number of people have to die before a disease counts as an epidemic. yes some people have died of measles (more than before the MMR-autism scare) but it's not enough yet to count as an epidemic. Epidemic of hyperhole sweeps newspaper offices! Subheadline: “So why can’t children get single vaccines?”
