MMR

The MMR vaccine is a safe and effective combined vaccination that protects against:

• Measles: A highly contagious viral disease that can lead to complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and hospitalisation.

• Mumps: A viral infection causing painful swelling of the salivary glands, fever, headache, and, in rare cases, complications affecting the brain or reproductive organs.

• Rubella (German Measles): A viral infection that is generally mild in children but can cause serious birth defects if contracted by pregnant women.

MMR vaccination is recommended for children, adults who have not previously been vaccinated, and travellers visiting countries with higher risk of outbreaks.

MMR vaccination may be advised for:

• Children as part of routine immunisation
• Adults who missed childhood vaccination
• Travellers visiting countries with current outbreaks
• Students studying abroad
• Individuals working in healthcare, childcare, or community settings
• Women planning pregnancy who have not had rubella immunity

Our travel health specialists can review your vaccination history and provide personalised advice.

• The MMR vaccine is given as a single injection.
• Children usually receive two doses as part of the routine NHS immunisation schedule.
