Have you had the MMR vaccine and experienced any side effects?

The search results provided don't contain specific information about the MMR vaccine and its side effects in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The available information focuses on COVID-19 vaccines and biologic medications rather than the MMR vaccine.

However, it's worth noting that vaccines can sometimes be slightly less effective in people taking immunosuppressive medications for RA. If you're considering the MMR vaccine or any vaccination, it's important to discuss timing with your rheumatologist, especially if you're on medications like methotrexate or other DMARDs.

Some myRAteam members have shared experiences with various vaccines, and connecting with others in the community who may have had the MMR vaccine could provide helpful insights about their personal experiences.

Your rheumatologist can provide specific guidance about the MMR vaccine, potential side effects to watch for, and whether any adjustments to your RA medications might be needed around the time of vaccination.
