Mmr Vaccine

Mmr Vaccine is to be administered by a healthcare professional. The first dose is generally given at 12 through 15 months of age. And the second dose is administered at 4 through 6 years of age. Do not skip any doses and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.

It may cause redness, pain, and swelling at the site of injection. It may also cause loss of appetite, drowsiness, irritability, and fever in some people.

Before taking it, inform your doctor if you are suffering from any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking it.
