The first dose of MMR vaccine is usually administered to children aged 12-13 months. A preschool booster at between 40 months and 5 years is given at the same time as the poliomyelitis injection. The vaccine is now known to be very safe and is not linked with autism or bowel disease. The MMR vaccine can be given at any age. Most children have no adverse reaction to the MMR vaccine and adverse events following vaccination are extremely rare. However, measles is much more serious than is often thought. It is the childhood illness most likely to cause the complication of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and still a cause of childhood deaths in Britain. Its incidence is increasing among children in some parts of the UK owing to their not being vaccinated.
Watoto wengi hawana athari mbaya kwa chanjo ya MMR na matukio mabaya baada ya chanjo ni nadra sana. Walakini, surua ni mbaya zaidi kuliko inavyofikiriwa mara nyingi. Ni ugonjwa wa utotoni ambao unaweza kusababisha matatizo ya encephalitis (kuvimba kwa ubongo) na bado ni sababu ya vifo vya watoto nchini Uingereza. Matukio yake yanaongezeka miongoni mwa watoto katika baadhi ya maeneo ya Uingereza kutokana na kutopewa chanjo.
Mumps causes inflammation of the glands round the face, jaw and neck. It is usually mild in children, rarely causing orchitis (swelling of the testes) and other complications. It is equally dangerous to boys and girls. Rubella is dangerous to the unborn child, and sufferers should be kept away from pregnant women.

Kiwango cha kwanza cha chanjo ya MMR kawaida hupewa watoto wenye umri wa miezi 12-13. Nyongeza ya chekechea kati ya miezi 40 na miaka 5 inatolewa kwa wakati mmoja na sindano ya polio. Chanjo hiyo sasa inajulikana kuwa salama sana na haihusiani na tawahudi au ugonjwa wa matumbo. Chanjo ya MMR inaweza kutolewa katika umri wowote.
Mabusha husababisha kuvimba kwa tezi kuzunguka uso, taya na shingo. Kawaida ni mpole kwa watoto, mara chache husababisha orchitis (uvimbe wa testes) na matatizo mengine. Ni hatari sawa kwa wavulana na wasichana. Rubella ni hatari kwa mtoto ambaye hajazaliwa, na wanaougua wanapaswa kuwekwa mbali na wanawake wajawazito. |
