Detailed explanation-1: -Measles kills nearly 49, 200 children every year in India. However, there is no enough evidence to suggest that mumps is a disease of public health importance. Therefore, MR vaccine is being introduced instead of MMR vaccine. Why MR and not MMR vaccination?
Detailed explanation-2: -The MMR vaccine is given as a combined vaccine, rather than a series of single ones. No country in the world recommends giving vaccines against the three infections separately. This is due to the following reasons. You or your child would need to have six injections in total.
Detailed explanation-3: -The MMR vaccine is very safe. Most side effects are mild and do not last long, such as: the area where the needle goes in looking red, swollen and feeling sore for 2 to 3 days. around 7 to 11 days after the injection, babies or young children may feel a bit unwell or develop a high temperature for about 2 or 3 days.
