Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: This review shows that MMR, MMRV and MMR+V vaccines are effective in preventing the infection of children by measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox, with no evidence of an increased risk of autism or encephalitis and a small risk of febrile seizure.

Reviewers´ commentary: the review of childhood immunization with varicella and MMR shows that it is an effective and safe intervention, associated with mild side effects and less frequently than those occurring with natural infection. The MMR has not been shown to be associated with encephalopathy or autism.
