Some time last year I read an article that studied seroconversion post MMR vaccination in 12 months Vs 15 month old babies which concluded that there was a much higher seroconversion in the 15 month olds. Does anybody remember reading this? One day I'll break down and actually do a search. I just remembered being impressed enough with the study that I did not lower the age I administer the MMR to 12 months as recommended by the Texas Dept. of Health but kept it at 15 months.
