What Is the MMR Vaccine?
The MMR vaccine is a combined immunisation that protects against:
- Measles – Can lead to pneumonia, ear infections, and in rare cases, brain inflammation (encephalitis)
- Mumps – May cause painful swelling of the glands, fever, and complications like hearing loss or meningitis
- Rubella (German measles) – Particularly dangerous during pregnancy, potentially causing birth defects
All three viruses spread easily through coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection and outbreaks.
Who Should Get the MMR Vaccine?
The MMR vaccine is recommended for:
- Babies and children aged 12 months and 3 years 4 months (as part of the standard schedule)
- Adults who missed their MMR doses during childhood
- Travellers visiting areas with active measles outbreaks or low vaccination coverage
- Students, teachers, and healthcare workers
- Women planning pregnancy (MMR must be given at least 1 month before trying to conceive)
Even if you’re unsure of your vaccination history, it’s safe to have the MMR vaccine again.

How the MMR Vaccine Works
The vaccine contains weakened versions of the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses that safely stimulate your immune system to produce antibodies. This helps your body recognise and fight off the infections in the future.
The full course includes:
- Two doses, at least 4 weeks apart
- Long-lasting protection, usually for life
Why Get the MMR Vaccine?
✔ Protects against three serious infections with one injection
✔ Prevents outbreaks and community spread
✔ Essential for school entry, university, and certain job roles
✔ Required or recommended for travel to some countries
✔ Reduces risk during pregnancy (rubella is especially dangerous for unborn babies)

Yes — if you’re unsure whether you had both doses, it’s safe to have another.
How long does protection last?
Usually for life after two doses.
