Is MMR usually at 12 mo. well check?

The AAP guideline looks like it stretches from 12-15 mos. I'm still trying to decide if we're going to delay until 15 mos or wait until the shot is offered separately again. Does anyone know off the top of their head if the MMR is generally given at the 12 mo well check or is it later? Thanks!

Yep, 12. Our doctor likes to pair smaller vax with bigger ones, so we put the MMR off until 18 mos with her blessing.

Do you know when it is going to be offered separately again?  We would much rather split it up if it is going to be available any time soon.

Merck anticipates production of the separate vaccines to return in 2011, but no specific month/date is given.

yup, it's usually at 12 months.  We pushed it to 18 though, so DD will be getting hers pretty soon.
