Children who have had measles : These children still need to receive the MMR vaccine.
Two doses of MMR vaccine are recommended to protect the child from mumps and rubella. About a 6—10 days after the MMR injection, some children get a very mild form of measles. This includes a rash, high temperature, loss of appetite and a general feeling of being unwell for about 2 or 3 days.
Around 1—4 weeks after having the MMR injection, 1 in 50 children develop a mild form of mumps. This includes swelling of the glands in the cheek, neck or under the jaw. It lasts for a day or two. Around 12—14 days after the injection, the rubella vaccine may cause a brief rash and possibility a slightly raised temperature.
On rare occasions, a rash may also occur up to 6 weeks later. Rarely, at around 1—3 weeks, some adults experience painful, stiff or swollen joints, which can last for around 3 days. Side effects What should I do? Mild rash May be from the measles or rubella part of the vaccine. Usually happens between 6 and 14 days after vaccination. It should get better after a few days. No treatment is required. The rash is not infectious.
Contact your doctor if you are worried. Mild swelling under the jaw May be from the mumps part of the vaccine. It can happen 1—4 weeks after the vaccine was given. Pain, swelling or redness around the injection site hard and sore to touch Heavy arm This is quite common after having the vaccination. It usually starts a few hours after getting the injection and settles within a few days. Place a cold, wet cloth or ice pack where the injection was given.
Leave it on for a short time. Don't rub the injection site. Tell your doctor if troublesome. Read more: After your immunisation Fever It is quite common for the first 1 or 2 days after receiving the injection and usually settles within a few days.
Vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella requires two doses of vaccine. Vaccination against chickenpox requires one dose to help protect against serious complications associated with chickenpox and to protect from developing shingles later in life.
Research shows that two doses of chickenpox vaccine in children provides increased protection and reduces the risk of 'breakthrough' chickenpox in children under 14 years of age. Breakthrough chickenpox occurs when people who are immunised against chickenpox get the disease. Immunised children who get breakthrough chickenpox generally have a much milder form of the disease. They have fewer skin lesions, a lower fever and recover more quickly.
The government funds one free dose of chickenpox vaccine and a second dose can be purchased on prescription. Any person with a reliable history of having had a chickenpox infection is considered immune and does not require the vaccine. Because of the potential for serious complications from infectious diseases in young children, especially measles, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is given at 12 months of age, without the varicella vaccine.
This is due to an increased risk of febrile convulsions in children under four years of age who receive their first dose of MMR as MMRV. Immunisation with MMRV vaccine at 18 months gives very young children early protection against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.
Immunisation is the best protection against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. It is important to know that it is safe for children with egg allergies to receive the MMRV vaccine. Protection against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox is available under the National Immunisation Program Schedule. From 14 years of age people require the MMR vaccine and a separate chickenpox vaccine. A person with an impaired immune system should not be vaccinated.
If you have an impaired immune system, speak with your doctor about what options might be available. You should not be given the MMR vaccine if you are already pregnant. Pregnancy should also be avoided for 28 days after the vaccination. Before immunisation, it is important that you tell your immunisation provider if you or your child :.
Single mumps and rubella vaccines are no longer manufactured anywhere in the world. The MMR vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women as a matter of caution. However, there are no known risks associated with receiving the MMR vaccine during pregnancy or just before pregnancy. See this Public Health England statement for more information. After two doses of MMR vaccine, about 99 of people out of will be protected against measles, about 88 out of will be protected against mumps, and almost everyone will be protected against rubella.
There are now a large number of studies that show no evidence at all of any link between the MMR vaccine and autism. In the short film below, experts say why they believe there is no link.
See 'Is the vaccine safe? The two vaccines contain different ingredients. Other brands of MMR vaccines used in other countries may contain different ingredients.
If you are not in the UK, ask for the Patient Information leaflet for the vaccine you are offered. Apart from the active ingredients the antigens , MMR vaccines may contain very small amounts of these ingredients:. The MMR vaccine contains three separate vaccines and their side effects can take place over different time periods.
There tend to be fewer side effects after the second dose of MMR. You should consult your doctor if your child experiences fits or a rash that looks like ITP after vaccination. This is mainly to check that it is the vaccine causing the symptoms, and not some unrelated disease. Symptoms such as fits can be very worrying for parents, but there is no evidence of long-term effects.
Children can normally safely receive vaccines in the future. For more information on febrile seizures generally, see NHS Choices. As with any vaccine, medicine or food, there is a very small chance of a severe allergic reaction anaphylaxis. It is always extremely serious but can be treated with adrenaline. Health care workers who give vaccines know how to do this.
In the UK between and there were a total of reports of anaphylaxis following ALL immunisations. Around million doses of vaccines were given in the UK during this period. This means that the overall rate of anaphylaxis is around 1 in , See Vaccine side effects and adverse reactions for more information on why this is the case. If you are concerned about any reactions that occur after vaccination, consult your doctor.
See more information on the Yellow Card scheme and monitoring of vaccine safety. In the short film below, experts talk about measles and its complications, and the importance of the MMR vaccine. A life changed by measles: Sarah Clow's story. Sarah Clow fell seriously ill with measles when she was five and was left with lasting disabilities including deafness, partial sight and learning difficulties. Her mother Audrey talks about the impact this has had on Sarah and the whole family.
Thanks to Rockhopper TV for the original footage. Sarah was not vaccinated against measles as a child because she had had eczema.
