The standard MMR
vaccine is given
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. Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines
may be administered as
individual shots, if necessary, or as a measles-rubella combination.
