Everything about MMR vaccine
Combined vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella
The MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella. It contains the combined measles vaccine, mumps vaccine, and rubella vaccine into a single injection. After two doses, 97% of people are protected against measles, 88% against mumps, and at least 97% against rubella. The vaccine is also recommended for those who do not have evidence of immunity, those with well-controlled HIV/AIDS, and within 72 hours of exposure to measles among those who are incompletely immunized. It is given by injection. Wikipedia →
