The MMR vaccine protects against three serious diseases:
Measles – which can cause pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death. Mumps – which can lead to swelling of the brain, hearing loss, or infertility. Rubella – which can cause birth defects if a pregnant woman is infected.
Like all vaccines, MMR can cause mild side effects such as a low-grade fever or mild rash, but serious side effects are extremely rare. The benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks. Always consult your pediatrician to ensure your child receives the vaccines on schedule.
