MMR remains under scrutiny

Okay. So what is the problem offering monovalent rubeola, rubella, and

mumps
vaccines?


Also, there have been questions about some of the single strain vaccines
that have been used (and were unlicensed), especially for mumps (there are
several strains, some better than others --- and some have problems... the
one used in the MMR which is based on the Jeryl Lynn strain that has been in
use in the USA since the 1970's has been shown to be most effective with the
fewest problems):
