MMR vaccine is offered routinely at around 14 months, with a booster dose at around four years. The government able to make a choice, as undoubtedly there are risks and possible side-effects with any injection.

Against the MMR vaccine

  • These illnesses have been around for many years and in developed countries are rarely serious or have complications.
  • There are grave concerns that a child might have a reaction at the time of the injection (anaphylaxis) and collapse shortly afterwards.
  • The site of injection may be painful and sometimes there is fever and a mild rash or dose of one of the illnesses may follow.
  • There is some evidence that the immunity gained from getting the disease naturally is better than that given artificially.
  • There may be a risk of high fever and convulsions, which can possibly cause brain damage.
  • Some scientists have suggested there is a link between the MMR immunisation and Crohn's disease and autism, a mental disorder in which children become self absorbed and withdrawn. Other scientists dispute this.
