When do children get MMR?

The first dose is at 12 months. The second dose is at around 3 years 4 months for reliable, long term protection.

Yes. If you missed doses, you can have two doses at least one month apart to complete protection.

Is the MMR vaccine safe?

Yes. Side effects are usually mild, like a sore arm, fever or a light rash. Serious reactions are rare.

Can I have MMR if I am pregnant?

No. Do not have MMR during pregnancy. Avoid becoming pregnant for one month after the vaccine and speak to us for personal advice.

What if I had measles before?

You can still have MMR. It is safe and will protect you against mumps and rubella, and will not harm you if you are already immune.

Can MMR be given with other vaccines?

Yes. It can be given with most routine vaccines. If another live vaccine is needed, we will advise on timing.

MMR protection for all ages

MMR protects against measles, mumps and rubella. These viruses spread easily through coughs and close contact. Two doses provide strong, long lasting protection for most people across all ages.

Children are offered MMR at 12 months, then at around 3 years 4 months. Adults who missed doses can catch up at any time. Travellers should check they have two documented doses before trips.

Side effects are usually mild. You may get a sore arm, a mild fever, or a light rash. A fever can appear about a week after the vaccine. Serious allergic reactions are rare. Tell us about allergies before your appointment.

MMR is a live vaccine. It is not given in pregnancy or for people with some health conditions that affect the immune system. If you are unwell with a high temperature, wait until you recover.

What to look for

Two doses give the best protection. If your child or you missed a dose, we can plan a catch up safely and clearly. Keep records for school, work and travel.
