I received a flu shot, an MMR, AND a chicken pox vaccine today. Any one have ideas of the side effects for all three at once?

Anyone know? Rash? Fever?

    The MMR vaccine, for example, causes:

    Temporary joint pain and stiffness in 1/4 of women

    Fever in 1/6 people

    Rash in 1/20 people

    Seizures in 1/3,000 people

    It could also cause brain damage, and probably death, but that's very rare.

    Some people have suggested that it causes autism, but that's wrong.

    That's all true even if you just take it on its own, and the chance of those side effects might be slightly greater when you take multiple vaccines at the same time. Other vaccines have similar side effects.

    None, except perhaps some temporary soreness at the sites of the injections.
