Measles, mumps, rubella vaccine

Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) viruses can infect multiple organs and cause serious illness in adults. Infection occurs from airborne droplets or direct contact with nasal secretions from an infected person. These diseases are common in developing countries. Persons born before 1957 in the U.S. (1970 in Canada and the United Kingdom; 1966 in Australia) are generally immune to all 3 diseases. Persons born after these dates and any other non-immune persons should have received a total of 2 doses of live virus MMR vaccine given at least 28 days apart. Serious side effects are rare.
