Vaccines, like any medicine, can have side effects. Getting MMR vaccine is much safer than getting measles, mumps or rubella. The other reason that a second dose of MMR vaccine was recommended was to allow for more children to develop a protective immune response.
About of every 1children will develop immunity after one shot , but about of 1children will develop immunity to measles after two shots. Fever or swelling of the glands in the cheeks or neck sometimes occur after MMRV vaccine. Seizures, often associated with fever, can happen after MMRV vaccine.

Children with these rashes can go to child care or school.

There is not treatment for the rash and it should go away after one or two days. When they occur, fever and rash usually appear 7–days after vaccination.
About of adult women receiving MMR vaccine develop temporary joint pain, a symptom related to the rubella component of the combined vaccine. Joint pain only occurs in women who are not immune to rubella at the time of vaccination. As the vaccine contains live viruses, it is probably due to vaccine-induced modified measles.
