The parents of an infant ask a nurse why their baby is not receiving the measles, mumps, and rubella (mmr) vaccine at the same time that other immunizations are being given. what explanation should the nurse give about why the mmr vaccine is administered at 12 to 15 months of age?

MMR vaccine can be associated with risk of twitches in babies which is lower between 12-15 months of age. After that time risk of twitches is getting higher.
