Is it safe to get a 2nd mmr vaccination at age 17? what are the risks?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The general risks are negligible.Occasionally teens will get transient joint pain a week or so after the shot, reflecting a body reaction to the measles component, but this is minor and usually fades within a few days.
