Can individuals with egg allergy receive MMR
vaccine?
Yes. MMR may be given to egg-allergic individuals
without prior testing or use of special precautions.
Does the MMR vaccine cause autism?
There is no scientific evidence that measles, MMR,
or any other vaccine causes autism. The question
about a possible link between MMR vaccine and
autism has been extensively reviewed by independent
groups of experts in the U.S. including the National
Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine. These
reviews have concluded that there is no association
between MMR vaccine and autism.
