The standard vaccine give n to prevent measles, mumps
and rubella (German measles).
The MMR vaccine is now given in two dosages. The first should be given at 12-15
months of age. The second vaccination should be given at 4-6 years.
Most children should receive MMR vaccinations. Exceptions may include children
born with an inability to fight off infection, some children with cancer, on treatment
with radiation or drugs for cancer, on long term steroids (cortisone). People with
severe allergic reactions to eggs or the drug neomycin should probably avoid the
MMR vaccine. Pregnant women should wait until after delivery before being immunized
with MMR. People with HIV or AIDS should normally receive MMR vaccine.
The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines may be administered as individual shots,
if necessary, or as a measles-rubella combination.
