As in...how much do they cost (we're in London). What ages are they given (boosters etc)? Anyone opted for this and been pleased/or not that they did?? DP and I are umming and aahing at the mo about this. Both worked with SO many kids who have been placed on ASD spectrum, had regression issues afetr the MMR that I find it hard not to believe some children are adversely affected by it. Feel very strongly about doing the right thing for DS and breaks my heart when I read about parents who are dealing with what they consider to be after effects of the combined jab, but agree its unwise not to immunise, so looking at all otions. Thanks for opinions.

We got singles for DD. We paid I think £60 per jab, so £360 for all of them inc boosters.
We're in the North West and it was a few years ago so prices may be wildly off!
DD had her first jab, was the measles one I think at around 19 months, the last which was mumps, was around 8 months after the first ( I think this was mainly because there were problems with supplies of the mumps injection at the time)
She had her boosters same time scale, first one when she turned 5.
I am pleased that we got the singles, like you I wouldn't have been comfortable not immunising, but the MMR just wasn't something we wanted to go with.
Fwiw, Dd is now almost 8 and we've not had any problems
