    Yep. MMR is measles mumps rubella. Its one you got when you were about 2. Its one that causes that scar we all have. (cept now they do babies on the bum I think). I know when I started college I had to have an MMR booster.

    I think MMR is measles, mumps and rubella, but I'm not a doctor.

    Shots in general don't hurt (although I personally hate tetanus shots, the poke itself doesn't hurt but my arm feels really sore for a few days after). Just a quick little sting, not too bad. Look away and it's over before you know it.

    Just pinch yourself on the arm when you get the shot. Your brain can only concentrate on pain in one area at a time (or so the theory goes) and it will be concentrating on the pinch, since it KNOWS it is coming, and you won't even feel the shot.

    Sound weird ... but it really does work very well. I do this everytime I have to get a shot at the dentist (shots in the gums .... OUCH!) and it does work!!

    I hate shots so much I lied about having my hepB shots, but at that time if my high school had foundout I would have been kicked out until I got those 3 shots...

    I still haven't gotten them.. but I plan on getting twinx & it'll give me hep B & C in the 3 shots... My dad had t have 5 shots cause his body wasn't making the antibody... & his first shot was in the BUTT!! only cause he stabbed a fork into his finger at work & the fork was with the hepC patients (dad works a mentally challenged hospital)...

    thats weird lol here it against the law to vaccinate a child without there parents consent, my parents are now anti vaccs. so I am safe from the devil. people always tell me its just a poke you wont even feel it, etc.. easy for them to say, for me its extremly painful, and it hurts for weeks, I can feel it go in, and its extreme pain, but then I am very sensitive to pain

    I don't mind getting shots. They don't hurt, just a fast, tiny prick.

    I don't mind the shot itself, but the whole concept of metal going into your arm.. Eww. lol. It doesn't really hurt. It's usually the vaccine that gives you a "cool/cold" sensation when it's injected. Other than that, it's fine.
