Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine

Protects against measles, mumps and rubella. For anyone without proof of 2 doses or immunity. 1 dose at home, about 30 minutes.

Measles, mumps and rubella spread easily and can cause serious complications in adults, and rubella during pregnancy can harm the baby. Two doses of MMR give long-lasting protection. If you don't have a record of 2 doses or a blood test showing immunity, the vaccine is recommended, especially before pregnancy or if you work with children or patients. MMR is a live vaccine, so it isn't given during pregnancy.
