MMR Vaccination

Your Shield Against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella

What is MMR?

The MMR vaccine combines protection against three highly contagious diseases: Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Choosing MMR vaccination ensures your family's health and safety.

Why Choose MMR?

• Comprehensive defense against measles, mumps, and rubella.
  
• Prevents severe complications and the spread of these diseases.
• Safe and convenient vaccination option for all ages.

The Importance of MMR:

1. Measles: Measles can lead to severe complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis. Protect yourself and your loved ones from this preventable disease.

2. Mumps: Mumps can cause painful swelling of the salivary glands, and in severe cases, it may lead to complications such as infertility. Avoid these risks with MMR vaccination.

3. Rubella (German Measles): Rubella can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, leading to birth defects. Ensure a safer pregnancy by getting vaccinated against rubella.

Dosage Information:

Please look at individual products for dosage information 

Booster Shots:

After completing the two-dose regimen, most individuals do not require additional booster shots. MMR provides long-lasting protection.

How is MMR Administered?

Treatment for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella: Prevention is key, but in the rare event of contracting one of these diseases, early medical attention is crucial. Consult a healthcare professional for guidance on managing symptoms and potential complications.
