On the issue of splitting the MMR vaccine into it's three components -- I totally agree with that being an option. I had rubella when I was three weeks old (lived in a poor area where lack of access to healthcare was common). It was very mild (as it usually is in babies) and the only "treatment" I needed was staying home until I was better. Then, when I got to whatever the age is for the MMR vaccine, I got that. So, in my case, the rubella portion of the vaccine was completely unnecessary, yet there was no other option available at that time.
