Vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella in a child with cerebral palsy and symptomatic epilepsy

anonymously, about a boy, 1 year

Hello! A child since childhood has a disability-cerebral palsy, symptomatic epilepsy. I have never been vaccinated, i.e. At first there was a medical news, then my mother refused. Now we are 10 years old, and we are called to be vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. But I am VERY afraid, is it worth doing? Will not the child be worse, in development, in lag? Please advise, dear doctors!

pediatrician, neurologist

Hello! You need to consult with your neurologist, it all depends on the form of cerebral palsy and your condition, but this will not affect the development of your child. Also, these vaccinations can trigger an epileptic seizure. Without detailed consultation with a neurologist, you should not put them.
