The new comprehensive review of studies adds to the weight of evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of MMR. “MMR remains an important preventive global intervention,” conclude the authors. The review appears in the most recent issue of The Cochrane Library.

The review confirmed that the combined vaccine may cause expected short-term effects such as irritability, fever, rash and joint stiffness. Very rarely, more serious side effects such as bleeding disorders and seizures may occur. Nevertheless, “No credible evidence of an involvement of MMR with either autism or Crohn’s disease was found,” say the authors.

Said that a small percentage of genetically predisposed infants are unable to detoxify mercury-containing preservatives once used in first-year vaccinations and were thus injured by a blow to their immune system by MMR.
