The MMR vaccine, which provides the best protection against measles, mumps, and rubella, has been linked to serious health risks in children, including autism and inflammatory bowel disease.0 However, the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks of these recognized side effects.3 Studies have shown a small increased risk of febrile seizures occurring among children younger than 7 years old approximately 8-14 days after vaccination at a rate of one for every 3,000-4,000 children vaccinated with MMR vaccine.4 The potential risk of adverse effects caused by a vaccination should always be compared to the risk of the disease itself and its secondary diseases and complications.1 Most children who get their MMR shots will not get these diseases, and many more children would get them if we stopped vaccinating.2
