Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)
Stay safe everywhere you go
What is Measles, Mumps and Rubella?
Measles, mumps and rubella are viral infections which can be prevented by having the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Measles, mumps and rubella diseases remain widespread in all parts of the world but are most common in Asia, Africa and South America. Outbreaks occur in Europe, North America and Australia/New Zealand where populations are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated.
All three viruses are caught by breathing in infected droplets released when someone with one of the viruses coughs or sneezes, or picked up from surfaces and transferred into your nose and mouth from your hands.
How does the vaccination work?
MMR is the vaccine used in the UK. It is a combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella.
Two doses of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine are needed in your life time to protect you against all three viruses.
