I dont think its available in one dose, I think you will have to go through the old routine of a jab for each. my daughter was born here and has not had the mmr injection, but she has had the series of jabs for the same immunisation

Hi , they are not available singley any more , i just recently attended a childrens immunisation update course ,in our practice we have so many different nationalities and quite a few don't speak any english , it was very difficult to ascertain what the child has already had ,we have to know what the childs immunisation history is before we can administer , different countries have different regimes and are given at different ages , this has been a problem for many years but this problem has now been addressed , hence the course and we were told that it would no longer be available singley . now some surgeries may still have them in stock abroad , but in gb it is not available , if anyone is offered it singley they should refuse , as it is not as effective { evidence based information }
