The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against these three serious viral infections. Typically given in two doses, the MMR vaccine provides long-lasting immunity and is recommended for both children and adults who haven’t been fully vaccinated.
The vaccine works by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies against measles, mumps, and rubella, reducing the risk of complications such as measles-related pneumonia, mumps-related meningitis, or rubella-related birth defects during pregnancy.
