A member asked:

Is fever a bad reaction to mmr vaccine?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably not: Fever occurs in up to 15% of people who get the MMR vaccine. It is one of the most common side effects and usually occurs within a week or two of the vaccine's administration date.

Dr Khanna and 3 doctors agreed

Not Really: It is annoying , but unless over 105 and associated with other symptoms, it is mostly just uncomfortable with no serious issues.
