I heard that the mmr vaccine is a live shedding virus. is this true and if so should i keep my unvaccinated baby away from those recently vaccinated?

Mmr vaccine : MMR vaccine is live but there is no need to isolate your baby unless your child has an immune problem. The virus in it is not harmful.

Even if given to them at a few weeks of age, it would be unlikely to cause a problem, but because of the way the immune system develops, it cannot provide a long term benefit if given under a year of age.It is occasionally given at 6 mo to those traveling in indemic countries, but repeated when older,
