Safe: Mmr and other standard vaccinations are generally safe. The risks of vaccinations have been greatly exaggerated in the media over the past couple of decades. It is well established that some of the data implicating vaccinations as risky was falsified data.

On occasion, adults will experience a transient (week +/-) of joint tenderness a week or so after the shot. It responds to minor anti inflammatories and disappears rather quickly.
