Adults having MMR vacine - side effects?!
Question: Adults having MMR vacine - side effects.?
I'm training the be a Nurse and part of the criteria before we can go onto work experience on wards is that if we weren't immunised in childhood we have to have the MMR jab now.
Has anyone else has it in adulthood (i'm 27) and suffered side effects.? I had my 1st shot a month ago and felt sick and a bit 'out of it' and my 2nd today and I have a really bad headache, can't seem to think straight (cotton wool head) and fee very sick and constantly thirsty. Has anyone experienced this or similar.?
PS I'm not looking for a debate on opinions of the MMR, just wanna know about side effects, thanks.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
I have never heard of any serious side effects in adults taking the MMR. However, I believe some people get mild flu like symptoms and perhaps a minor rash.
All the adverse reactions I've heard were in children under 16 months of age. You don't qualify.
