Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
MMR vaccine is usually uneventful.
Fever for 3 days after the shot means it is not related to injection.
Better consult pediatrician to find out cause of fever and proper treatment.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care

Yes nearly five percent of vaccinated children can get fever more than 39 degree Celsius 7-12 days following vaccination. If baby is not well , looks drowsy , you need to worry , in most cases fever subsides with paracetamol .
