title: Measles, mumps and rubella--safety of the combined vaccine.
abstract: Despite the fact that scientific evidence shows no support for a link between the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) and autism or bowel problems, many parents remain worried. This article discusses the reasons for the introduction of MMR and outlines the debate about its safety and the problems associated with using single vaccines.
