mmrv vaccine
the mmrv vaccine, a combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, has been proposed as a replacement for the mmr vaccine to simplify administration of the vaccines. preliminary data indicate a rate of febrile seizures of 9 per 10,000 vaccinations with mmrv, as opposed to 4 per 10,000 for separate mmr and varicella shots; u.s. health officials therefore do not express a preference for use of mmrv vaccine over separate injections.
