What is the MMRV vaccine?

The MMRV vaccine combines the MMR (for measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine with the chickenpox vaccine. It was created to reduce the number of shots children get.

Children who get the first dose of MMRV vaccine at 12 to 23 months old may have a higher chance of a seizure caused by fever. But, this is not common. These seizures may be scary for parents, but they are not harmful to children.

CDC recommends that children younger than 4 years old get the first dose of MMR and chickenpox vaccines separately.

ok i am going to stick with my chief nurse opinion, thanks
