Claim: Type 1 diabetes is listed as a side effect on the MMR vaccine package insert.
Fact-check: Evidence shows there is no link between the MMR vaccine and diabetes - Full Fact
Verdict: diabetes is listed as an adverse reaction on the mmr ii vaccine used in the usa. this isn't the same as a side effect – it can refer to conditions developed by chance after someone has been vaccinated but which aren't caused by the vaccine. neither of the two mmr vaccines used in the uk list diabetes in their information and evidence shows there is no link between the mmr vaccine and type 1 diabetes.
