(Just to start by saying I am pro-vaccinations for my children and both have had the MMR).
I am too old to have had the MMR jab as a child but I had mumps and rubella. Today I started medical school and had to have a hepatitis B vaccination. Whilst I as there they tried to convince me I needed to MMR as well. Now my blood tests confirm I am immune to rubella and, as pro-vaccination as I am, I don't think we should have unnecessary vaccinations.
So I was wondering if anyone had any experience of having the MMr as an adult. Did you have any side effects and what swayed your decision?
Thanks.

Has anyone had the MMR as an adult? Do I want/need it?
