This is false information. If you are in the risk group BCG is also recommended for newborns. Source: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/bcg-tuberculosis-...

In the UK MMR is given to babies around age 1. The reason is that if their mother is vaccinated, they have the antibodies, but "These maternal antibodies decline with age and are almost all gone by the time MMR is normally given – around the age of 1 year."

Please, read before you are posting false information.

It is not false information, we just live in different countries, and I specifically said I was talking about the CDC. Here is their info: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc...
