What are side effects of the mmr vaccine?

Varies: It is a live virus vaccine.Most common side effect is: patients can develop measles (mild version) 7-14 days afterwards. Can have fever and a measles rash. Others can develop knots in the arm or leg or local reactions. Febrile seizures can happen, and fortunately not often. It can drain vitamin a stores so i recommend cod over oil for two weeks after (or before) to prevent/treat this side effect.
