What is the MMR vaccine?

The MMR vaccine is a combined vaccine that protects against three viral infections: measles, mumps, and rubella. It is typically given to children in two doses, with the first dose administered after the age of one and the second around the age of four or five. The MMR vaccine has been highly effective in reducing the incidence of these contagious and potentially serious diseases, helping to prevent outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations. It is a crucial part of childhood immunization schedules in many countries around the world.
