Description
The MMR vaccine is an immunization that protects against three highly contagious viral diseases:
- Measles: Causes fever, rash, cough, runny nose, and can lead to serious complications like pneumonia and encephalitis.
- Mumps: Leads to swollen salivary glands, fever, and in some cases, complications such as meningitis or infertility.
- Rubella (German Measles): Causes a mild rash and fever but can be dangerous for pregnant women, leading to birth defects.
The MMR vaccine is typically given in two doses:
- First dose at 12–15 months of age.
- Second dose at 4–6 years of age.
It is a safe and effective vaccine, usually administered via subcutaneous injection in the upper arm or thigh.
