Ministry of health via IMAC acknowlege that MMR0 when given at <12 months 'does not count'
MMR1 MMR2 and so on are still required
IMAC statement on MMR0 <12months
"there is no efficacy anwer"
This is a damning statement.
MMR program has reached the endpoint with final possible timing change from
Oct 1 2020 revised down to 12 and 15months.
There is no other timing change available to protect the program failure. These timing changes will exacerbate the failings more publically over coming years.
Having sold historical M/MMR program failure as an 'immunity gap' issue derived by clerical shortcomings in 2019, IMAC director Nikki Turner in September 2021 declared national schedule timings as "a roadblock" 'Maybe don't mind the gap after all'
Signalling the state of those involved in the process.
MOH admit as per international literature that DTaP is a failed product which 'creates life long susceptibility in anyone received a single dose of the product'
