Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine

Measles, mumps and rubella are contagious infections caused by viruses. They are spread by droplets in the air that have been coughed or sneezed by an infected person. These are diseases that can lead to significant consequences, some of which are irreversible. Fortunately, it is possible to prevent these three diseases with a single vaccine commonly called MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). Thanks to vaccination, they are now less frequent than they once were.
