What adverse effects are possible with
MMR Vaccination? The MMR vaccination is a LIVE vaccine which has a greater risk of adverse effects than other vaccines. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you only receive the MMR vaccination after exhausting all your efforts to locate your vaccination records. If you still can’t find your vaccination records AND you attended primary and secondary schools in the US- please consider getting an MMR titer. The MMR titer is a blood test that will tell us if you are immune to measles, mumps and rubella. |
