What are the disadvantanges to separating the M, M, and R?
Discussion
I want to make it very clear I like anyone reasonable am pro MMR. I think Dr Wakefield is a 
with blood on his hands.
Unfortunately my dad, now that he's retired, is going down a bit of an anti-vax (well actually not anti-vax - it's very specifically the MMR) path for whatever reason. Now if it were just him I'd tell him to fk off (and have done) but he's also worrying Mrs Foolish (who likes spending time with my dad much more than I do and so does when I'm not around to shut this sort of thing down).
Aside from the cost, which he'd cover, are there any disadvantages to separating the three vaccines for Baby Foolish? My laypersons guess would be:
1. The *actual* side effects (if there are any) would probably last longer as not delivered in one big go
2. More complicated for future doses
3. Probably protection delayed for longer (but maybe we could get the private jabs sooner to compensate for that?)
Are there other issues? And do the above exist and how bad are they?
I am currently inclined on principle to insist on the MMR but I want to understand what the disadvantages are to acquiescing.
