Children
should get 2 doses of MMR vaccine:
- The
first at 12-15 months of age
-
and the second at 4-6 years of age.
These
are the recommended ages. But children can get the second dose at
any age, as long as it is at least 28 days after the first dose.
Some
adults should also get MMR vaccine:
Generally, anyone 18 years of age or older, who was born after 1956,
should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine, unless they can show
that they have had either the vaccines or the diseases.
Ask
your doctor or nurse for more information.
MMR
vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
