Reasons against MMR vaccination |

Slightly important |
Not important |
|---|---|---|---|
|
My child may have some localised swelling where they received the injection, have a non-infectious rash, mild cold and flu-like symptoms or a fever 7 to 12 days after the vaccination. |
|
|
|
|
My child may be 1 in 1 million children who experience a serious complication such as a severe allergic reaction or encephalitis. |
|
|
|
|
If my child experiences a severe complication I may feel guilty or responsible because I had them vaccinated. |
|
|
|
|
If I choose to vaccinate my child I may feel uncomfortable if my friends, family or members in my community strongly disagree with my choice. |
