MMR Vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella – three highly contagious viral diseases. These illnesses can lead to serious complications like hearing loss, pneumonia, meningitis, and birth defects. The vaccine contains weakened forms of the viruses that cannot cause disease but stimulate the immune system to build lasting protection. It is recommended for both children and adults who lack immunity or vaccination records and plays a crucial role in preventing outbreaks and protecting community health.

MMR Vaccine is administered via subcutaneous injection, usually in the upper arm, using a sterile, single-use syringe. It contains live-attenuated viruses of measles, mumps, and rubella that trigger the body’s immune response without causing illness.

Once injected, the vaccine antigens are processed by the immune system, leading to the production of protective antibodies. In some cases, the vaccine is supplied in a lyophilized (powder) form and reconstituted with a sterile diluent before use. The vaccine must be kept refrigerated (2 to 8°C) and protected from light to maintain effectiveness. A second dose is usually given after at least 28 days to ensure full and long-term immunity.

Q1: At what age should MMR Vaccine be given?
A1: The first dose is recommended at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 to 6 years. In certain cases, infants as young as 6 months may receive one early dose before international travel.

Q2: Is MMR Vaccine necessary for adults?
A2: Yes, adults who have not been vaccinated or do not have confirmed immunity should receive 1 to 2 doses, especially if they are healthcare workers, international travellers, or students.

Q3: Can I delay MMR Vaccine?
A3: It is best to follow the recommended schedule, but in some cases, it can be delayed. However, delaying increases the risk of infection, especially during outbreaks or travel.

Q4: How long is MMR Vaccine immunity good for?
A4: Measles and rubella immunity usually lasts a lifetime after two doses of MMR Vaccine. Mumps protection may decline over time, but the vaccine still offers significant protection and reduces complications.

Q5: What happens if I do not take MMR Vaccine?
A5: Without MMR Vaccine, individuals are at high risk of contracting measles, mumps, or rubella – all of which can cause serious health problems and contribute to disease outbreaks.
