In our case the doctors came and did a test. I am not sure of the kind, and found the levels were low. Then they repeated this each time. Sorry I can't be more specific, it was.. 17 years ago when he had the first one. Wow, time flies.

Ah okay, so it is probably just a standard thing for kids that kids never remember.

Yes, you get measels (MMR and MMRV) at about a year old, then a booster around 1.5 years old, but is required to attend school.

I mean yes, but thats not what i meant. It must be standard that Dr's check if it worked on young kids to see if levels are low. Part of early childhood checkups
