Yeah, in the same boat with my two kids - the first one got some of the shots and the second is a covid baby, so she's not had any yet. Neither had the MMR yet, since I decided it's best to wait till after that age that autism typically presents - that way at least people wouldn't be able to say that it's just that age. In our current day and age where measels have been mostly eradicated in the west, I don't understand why it's not just policy to wait a year or two to get the MMR shot, the risk of getting measels in that additional year or two is minimal while the societal good of eradicating the stigma that the shot is causing autism (since people won't see the temporal association anymore, right?) would be that measels will remain eradicated.
