Mmr vaccine dose for adults

Why get vaccinated?

MMR vaccine can prevent measles, mumps, and rubella.

• MEASLES (M) causes fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, commonly followed by a rash that covers the whole body.

  It can lead to seizures (often associated with fever), ear infections, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Rarely, measles can cause brain damage or death.

• MUMPS (M) causes fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, and swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears.

  It can lead to deafness, swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord covering, painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and, very rarely, death.

• RUBELLA (R) causes fever, sore throat, rash, headache, and eye irritation.
