People are not given the MMR vaccine if they:

are very ill,
have already had a severe reaction to MMR in the past,
are pregnant - women should avoid becoming pregnant for 1 month after having the MMR vaccine,
have had an injection of immunoglobulin or another blood product in the previous 3 months,
know that they may react severely to the antibiotic preparations neomycin or kanamycin, or
have an untreated malignant disease or altered immunity.

Very few children are unable to have the MMR vaccine for medical reasons.
