Definition MMR stands for the measles mumps and rubella vaccine. This combination shot injects three live-viruses (attenuated chemically) at the same time into a child. Some countries such as Japan have stopped using the combination vaccine because of the increased risk. Mass vaccination has resulted in a shift in the patterns of the diseases, with the age distribution having changed significantly and so now increasingly occurring in adolescents and young adults (when the diseases themselves cause more complications). Unlike vaccination (which offers only temporary immunity), the natural occurrence of each of these diseases (all non-threatening illnesses in early childhood) generally results in lifelong immunity. Research also suggests that there is a connection between MMR vaccination and the development of autism, Crohn's Disease and Irritable Bowel Disease.
