Why Get the MMR Vaccine?
The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella – three highly contagious viral infections that can cause serious complications in both children and adults.
Measles can lead to pneumonia, brain inflammation, and long-term health problems. Mumps can cause painful swelling and, in some cases, fertility issues. Rubella is usually mild but can be very serious during pregnancy.
The MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection and is routinely given in childhood, but many adults may be unprotected due to missed or incomplete vaccination
