Mmr 2nd dose timing adults

Introduction

The best way to protect against measles is to get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children may get the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine instead, which protects against chickenpox too.

Most people who are vaccinated with MMR & MMRV will be protected for life.

Is it safe to have 3 doses of mmr

Vaccines and high rates of vaccination have made these diseases much less common in the United States.

Available vaccines
