About the MMR Vaccine
The MMR vaccine helps protect against three highly contagious viral infections: Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
Measles
Measles can cause fever, cough, rash, and serious complications including pneumonia and inflammation of the brain.
Mumps
Mumps commonly causes painful swelling of the glands near the jaw and can sometimes lead to complications such as meningitis or hearing problems.
Rubella
Rubella, also known as German Measles, is usually mild but can be serious during pregnancy as it may affect an unborn baby.
At Earls Barton Pharmacy, we provide professional MMR vaccination services to help protect eligible individuals against these infections. Our trained pharmacists will assess your vaccination history and medical background to ensure the vaccine is suitable for you.
The MMR vaccine is highly effective and helps protect both individuals and the wider community. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent outbreaks of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella and reduce the risk of serious complications.
Our private MMR vaccine is available for adults and older children who are unsure of their vaccination history or need to catch up before travel, university or planning a pregnancy. The MMR vaccine for adults works the same way as for children: current MMR vaccine UK guidance recommends two doses in total, so what people often call an MMR booster for adults is usually a catch-up dose. Related: chickenpox vaccine and whooping cough vaccine.
