Dear parents ,
MR vaccine given in school are additional vaccine like polio drops ,given in mass on same day gives herd immunity to community, to irradiated measles.
All parents should sent their wards to get vaccinated with MR vaccine .
Plane crash &train accident do occur some times, do we stop using them.
Similarly you heard some cases, may be true, but that doesn't stopped us to use the vaccine, taking necessary precautions.

MMR protects from Vaccine preventable disease. Incidents at Government hospital was due to a batch of vaccines. Please note, Government set up vaccinates more children than entire private network. Based on once instance we can’t blame the Vaccine Per se.
