Before the widespread use of a vaccine against measles, its incidence was so high that patients born before 1949 are assumed to have had measles.
[18] However the authors of the report stated that "The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate."[19] Cochrane, based in Oxford, England, is widely regarded by scientists as the most authoritative independent reviewer of medical literature, and the custodian of "evidence-based medicine".
The great majority of doctors prefer to administer the combined vaccine rather than the separate ones, as it is less distressing to the child, and parents are more likely to attend for one vaccination than for three.
