Got the mmr vaccine and now have a swollen cheek. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reaction: The MMR contains measles, mumps, and rubella and they are live viruses. You may be having a very mild case of mumps as a result. Hard to know exactly without a visit. If you are uncomfortable, make an appointment.
