MMR vaccine

MMR vaccine
a combined vaccine against measles, mumps, and German measles (rubella). It is currently recommended that this vaccine is given to all children at 13 months of age with a booster dose at 3½–5 years (see immunization). Specific contraindications include immunosuppression and allergy to eggs. Links between the vaccine and autism and Crohn's disease have been suggested, but these are as yet unsubstantiated.
