Abstract
According to existing studies, evidence suggests the preventive effects of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine on severity and infection of COVID-19, therefore paying attention to children’s vaccination at the time of determination is very important. This vaccination should not be prevented because of fear of developing COVID-19 in health care centers.
