Get her seen: The physician who gave the MMR should be called. Some infants develop a reaction to the shot that is transient and without significance. The child may have fever, irritable and jet quite jumpy for a couple days as they recover from the shot. Just have her seen and checked by her doctor. There is no reason to suggest brain damage.

Hepatitus B?: The MMR is not given to newborns; hepatitis b is. Vaccines don't cause autism or brain damage. Write down & video the behaviors you are seeing that make you think your newborn has brain damage & show them to your pediatrician. If your baby has abnormal physical or neurological findings, (s)he will investigate for genetic & other medical prenatal/ perinatal causes & refer appropriately.
