C
The MMR vaccine can have several adverse effects, including fever up to 103F; this is not con-sidered a serious effect and does not warrant filing an adverse event report with VAERS. Thrombocytopenia is a rare but serious side effect of the MMR vaccine but is not associated with fever. There is no need to have the parent take the child to the emergency department.
