Is MMR Vaccination Hazardous The Second Time?
I received my mmr vaccination as a child but I have no records of it. I m going to nursing school and they need lab evidence of immunity or vaccination records. I had a teeter done that said i was immune to all but the mumps portion so i got a booster and the another teeter. The second teeter was the same result. My doctor says she doesn t want me to have the second vaccination due to risk but I need it for school. What is the risk?

Hello
There really is no risk with a second booster but at this point I would repeat the titer since the lack of immunity to mumps may be a false negative one
