any adults had MMR?

[DisasterArea]

apparently i need one. any narsty side effects? do i really need it? have lasted 30 something years without getting Measles or mumps and am rubella immune.

I have, yes. No problems.

I had it. I got all three sets of side effects so felt pretty crap on and off for about three weeks as I worked through them. But just crap, not really really ill. I was able to look after my toddler. I don't think it's that common to get all three, especially as I had mumps as a child.

Had it at the same time as DD1, when the nurse realised I wasn;t immune to Rubella. I almost passed out seeing the needle, but didn;t even feel it going in.

No side effect of any kind, no symptoms, nothing.

I had it 2 weeks ago, along with chicken pox vaccine. Not a single side effect, not even an aching arm.

They wouldn't let me leave the hospital after DD1 without having it as I wasn't immune to Rubella - didn't have any side effects at all

I had one when mumps was going round my university - no side effects of any kind.

I was still too lazy to make an appointment to go back for the booster though

I've never had any side effects, though I've had the rubella vaccination three times, once as a teenager,twice as an adult (every time I'm tested I show up as not immune )I've never had rubella though, even though every child in my primary school went down with it, and all the rest of my family too.

Just as an aside to this thread topic; if you've had two documented doses of MMR or rubella vaccine then you're considered immune to rubella, regardless of antibody status, and don't need any more.

I had it age 23 -- about 18 yrs ago., no problems.
