A member asked:

Pregnancy after how many months of taking mmr vaccine is safe? is it 1 month or 3 months? various medical websites gives different answers. what is the actual period till which pregnancy needs to be avoided? is it 3 months or 1 month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I : I see what you mean! the recommendations according to the center for disease control (cdc) and the american college of obstetrics and gynecology (acog) are to wait 1 month after vaccination with the MMR to become pregnant. The recommendation from the american academy of pediatrics (aap) and merck, the vaccine manufacturer is to wait 3 months. All 4 are excellent sources of reliable information. My recommendation is to play it safe and wait the 3 months after vaccination to become pregnant or ask the opinion of your ob/gyn. Good luck!
