J Fam Health Care.
2002.
Abstract
Following adverse publicity about the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, most parents ask their health visitors, GPs and practice nurses about the risks and benefits. To address parents' concerns and help health professionals answer their questions, the Department of Health has provided information through its agency NHS Immunisation Information. This article contains some of the commonly asked questions together with answers and references.
