MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) Vaccine Information

The MMR (MMR, MM, MMRV) vaccine is a vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). The first dose is generally given to children around 9 months to 15 months of age, with a second dose at 15 months to 6 years of age, with at least 4 weeks between the doses. The MMR vaccine is relatively safe and effective at preventing measles, mumps and rubella. Vaccines, like any medicine, can have side effects. Most people who get MMR vaccine do not have any serious problems. However, side effects such as swelling, serious allergic reaction, soreness and a temporary low platelet count may occur.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program may provide compensation for: (1) anaphylaxis, which is an acute allergic reaction to the antigen in the vaccine; (2) encephalopathy, which is permanent or temporary brain damage, disorder or disease or encephalitis, which is inflammation in the brain, often resulting from a viral infection; (3) Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine, known as SIRVA, which is a sometimes painful injury to the shoulder where the vaccine was administered; (4) Vasovagal Syncope, which is when a person faints because his or her body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress; and (5) chronic arthritis. Other covered injuries may include (6) thrombocytopenic purpura which can cause purple bruises, as well as tiny reddish-purple dots that look like a rash and, (7) Vaccine-Strain Measles Viral Infection in an immunodeficient recipient when the vaccine-strain virus is identified or if it is not identified because laboratory testing is inconclusive.
HPV vaccination is also recommended for everyone through age 26 years, if they were not adequately vaccinated already. HPV vaccination is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years. However, some adults age 27-45 years who were not already vaccinated may decide to get the HPV vaccine after speaking with their doctor about their risk for new HPV infections and the possible benefits of vaccination. HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, as more people have already been exposed to HPV. Common side effects from the HPV shot are mild and go away quickly. The most common side effects include:

• Pain, redness or swelling in the arm where the shot was given
• Fever
• Dizziness or fainting
• Nausea
• Headache or fatigue
• Muscle or joint pain

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program may provide compensation for: (1) anaphylaxis, which is an acute allergic reaction to the antigen in the vaccine; (2) Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine, known as SIRVA, which is a sometimes-painful injury to the shoulder where the vaccine was administered, and (3) Vasovagal Syncope which is when a person faints because his or her body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress.
