Can my child get the vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella separately?
Some parents have been concerned by media reports claiming that the combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was a contributing cause of autism. However, 14 excellent scientific studies have conclusively proven that the incidence of autism is the same in children who receive MMR vaccine as in those who don’t receive the vaccine. Therefore, there is no reason to separate the vaccine into three shots when it can be safely given as a single shot.
