A member asked:
What could happen if you don't have the mmr jab? i know you could get the illnesses (measles, mumps and rubella) but is there anything else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long term issues: Measles:can cause encephalitis with brain damage in 1/1000 and death in 3/1000 cases. Mumps can cause pregnancy loss, male sterility, mild encephalitis, other problems and occasional death in adults. Rubella, while relatively mild in most, occasionally produces encephalitis in the patient.It is well known for producing miscarriage, birth defects and mental retardation in infants infected in the womb.
