Vaccine Information

What is the MMR vaccine?

The MMR vaccine is a combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. These infections can cause serious illness and complications, and vaccination is the most effective way to reduce risk.

Who should get the MMR vaccine?

The MMR vaccine is routinely offered in the UK childhood immunisation programme. It can also be given to teenagers and adults who are not fully vaccinated, including those who missed one or both doses.

How effective is the MMR vaccine?

Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide excellent protection against measles, mumps, and rubella. Full vaccination significantly reduces the risk of infection and outbreaks.

How many doses are required?

Two doses are required for full protection. If you have only had one dose, or are unsure of your vaccination history, your clinician can advise the most appropriate schedule.

Are there any side effects of the vaccine?

Mild side effects may include soreness at the injection site, a mild fever, or a rash. Some people may experience temporary joint aches. Serious reactions are rare and will be discussed during your appointment.

Can adults have the MMR vaccine?

Yes. Adults can safely have the MMR vaccine if they have not been fully vaccinated. Catch-up vaccination is particularly important for those planning pregnancy, working in healthcare, or attending university.

Why is the MMR vaccine important?

Measles is highly contagious and can lead to serious complications. Mumps and rubella can also cause severe illness, particularly in vulnerable individuals, and vaccination helps protect both individuals and the wider community.

Do I need the MMR vaccine if I have had two single measles vaccines?

Yes. Even if you have received two single measles vaccines, you may not be protected against mumps and rubella. The MMR vaccine provides protection against all three infections and can be safely given to ensure full coverage.

Are Single Rubella and Mumps vaccines still available?

The Serum Institute of India (SII) have stopped manufacturing single rubella vaccines (R Vax). This mirrors what Sanofi Pasteur did with Rudivax (Rubella vaccine) in 2012 . The last batch produced will expire at the end of January 2015. Therefore, the single rubella vaccine will not be available after this date. The single Mumps vaccine has not been available since 2010. This means that only the single Measles vaccine, and the MMR vaccine are now currently available.
