As I have argued on the Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) ‘booster’ webpage, it’s likely that most children will be immune after the first dose of effective live MMR vaccine.

However, mass populations of already immune children are being arbitrarily revaccinated with a second dose of the live MMR vaccine because a small proportion of children may not have responded to the first dose.  In other words, millions of children are being over-vaccinated with the second dose of live MMR vaccine.

See below hyperlinks to my ongoing correspondence to individuals accountable on this matter, challenging the arbitrary second dose of live MMR vaccine:
