I had to get an MMR Thursday because our facilities require immunity to all 3. My mumps titer didn't show immunity, so I got one.
Is it phsychosomatic, or is the sore throat, headache and general malaise I am feeling today from that shot on Thursday morning? I mean, when they give it to kids they seem a bit off a few days later, but an adult???!!!

I had the MMR and the Hep A and B shots on the same day this summer....I felt bad for two weeks! Coincidence???
I will try and look for the information papers I received..see if those say anything...:imbar

It could very well be the MMR, here is a link to the CDC MMR fact sheet.

Thanks for the replies... it feels a bit better knowing it really isn't all in my head. Figures I would be the 1 out of 6 who feel bad! Oh well, at least it is on a weekend so I can rest.
