According to http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side… (the CDC), the side effects of the MMR vaccines are:
"Mild Problems
* Fever (up to 1 person out of 6)
* Mild rash (about 1 person out of 20)
* Swelling of glands in the cheeks or neck (rare)
If these problems occur, it is usually within 7-12 days after the shot. They occur less often after the second dose.
Moderate Problems
* Seizure (jerking or staring) caused by fever (about 1 out of 3,000 doses)
* Temporary pain and stiffness in the joints, mostly in teenage or adult women (up to 1 out of 4)
* Temporary low platelet count, which can cause a bleeding disorder (about 1 out of 30,000 doses)
Severe Problems (Very Rare)
* Serious allergic reaction (less than 1 out of a million doses)
* Several other severe problems have been known to occur after a child gets MMR vaccine. But this happens so rarely, experts cannot be sure whether they are caused by the vaccine or not. These include:
o Deafness
o Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness
o Permanent brain damage
Note: The first dose of MMRV vaccine has been associated with rash and higher rates of fever than MMR and varicella vaccines given separately. Rash has been reported in about 1 person in 20 and fever in about 1 person in 5. Seizures caused by a fever are also reported more often after MMRV. These usually occur 5-12 days after the first dose."

The M-M-RvaxPro vaccine is a vaccine containing measles, mumps and rubella viruses that have been weakened. Although it is contains live viruses, they are too weak to cause measles, mumps or rubella in healthy people. Like all medicines, M-M-RvaxPro can cause side effects, although not everone vaccinated gets them. Aproximately 1 out of 10 reported injection site redness, and injection site pain and swelling. Injection site bruising was reported in about 1 out of 100 patients. Other less common reactions included allergic reactions and seizures. You should check with your doctor to make sure you are not allergic to any of the vaccine components. If you haven't suffered any side effects by now, you most likely won't.
