I can understand your concern because MMR and Varicella are both live virus vaccines. The answer to your question is no. There have been no definitive studies done on any level which indicate the vaccines may cause or create super viruses. The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine have caused a dramatic decrease in the number of childhood illnesses in this country. In fact there were less than 100 cases of measles in the U.S. for the past 2 years in a row. The cases were imported from another country. Thanks for letting me answer this question. It involves my work. I do it every day.

Why you are worrying about it? MMR is manufactured by live but attenuated strains of Measles, Mumps and Rubella viruses. They have antigenicity for protection but no pathogenicity or virulence. Each batch of vaccine is likely to undergo quality control. There is no such term supervirus. Viruses may mutate to produce newer viruses but it is still not reported. Sometimes, if you don't have a proper immune response (very rare), then only you may remain susceptible to these diseases. Sometimes, very little illness may develop after getting the vaccine but these are also rare and you should not worry about these. In one line, it still reported as a safe Vaccine.

Why in the world would you think that? Vaccines are usually created with killed viruses. They don't create anything themselves. They stimulate your immune system and are very specific for the particular virus the vaccine is for. A super virus would be one that we haven't been exposed to, was very virulent , caused illness in humans and transmission was easy between humans.

NO!
But what is creating antibiotic resistant bacteria is overuse and misuse of antibiotics.

no. why would it? the bacteria samples in it are not powerful enough to harm the body.
