Is it true that the MMR vaccine causes recipients to shed virus that infects other people?
Partly. One case report documents vaccine-associated measles in an immunocompromised transplant recipient, and a book notes the rubella component of MMR can shed into breastmilk; the CDC states a breastfed baby will not be affected by the vaccine through breast milk. None of these items establishes that MMR recipients shed virus that infects other people.
