I thought I read on another post the shortage was temporary and the individual vaccines would be available again next year, but, I could be wrong.
Actually, how can they possibly take away the options of having separately M M and R vacines ? I mean, what if someone had natural occuring measles and mumps ( a lady for example) and wanted to just get the rubella vaccine (before getting married, let's say) - that will no longer be an option and she would have to get MMR if she wanted the R vaccine? what happens when one already has natural immunity to a disease and then gets vaccinated for that disease? Just wondering if anyone knows!
Come to think of it - what happens in the opposite too - like what if you are vaccinated for something (most people today) and then come down with that disease anyway - (like if the vaccine didnt work for you) - would the natural immunity you would get from the disease last as long and be just like if you had gotten it naturally WITHOUT having been vaccinated, or, would it somehow be different being that you HAVE had the vax for it, BEFORE coming down with the disease

I just read recently, I think it was official too, that Merck is NOT continuing to separate the MMR and will strictly produce the MMR together. I think they are the only ones who do the MMR here in the States? I wonder if another company will produce and separate it.
You have some very good points about not having access to separate vaccines, unfortunately the manufacturers nor the gov't care.
A while back I asked the same question as you, if a person is vaxed for something and get it anyways, will it be just like they got it naturally? the answers were yes.
