A member asked:
Can a woman get the mmr and chicken pox vaccines before finding out she is pregnant? are there risks to her and the unborn child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
So far no problems: This has happened numerous times in the past and so far it has not resulted in any defined problems for the fetus.Physicians make an effort to avoid live vaccines like mmrv during pregnancy due to the expected potential for harm, but that is more out of great caution than recorded problems. Please discuss the issue with your ob.
