Patient's question:
The child is 11 years old. They just received the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine last spring. This year, our county has actively launched a campaign to prevent measles and rubella. I'm concerned that spring is a common time for mumps, so can they receive another dose of the MMR vaccine?Medical history and treatment outcomes: None.
Any previous assistance: I'd like to ask if they can receive the vaccine?
Doctor's answer:
The MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. A single dose of the vaccine can provide protection against all three diseases. It is recommended for children aged 1 to 14 to receive routine vaccination.Medical advice: After vaccination, antibodies are produced in the body and can last for several years, so it is not necessary to get vaccinated again in such a short period of time.
The above advice is in response to the question, "Can I still get another dose of the MMR vaccine now?" We hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
