MMR Vaccine

Measles, Mumps, & Rubella (MMR) Vaccine

MMR Vaccination in Orange County: Is It Necessary?

The MMR vaccine is recommended for people of all ages, however, it is mandatory for children entering the 7th grade in most states — including California. This three-in-one vaccination protects children (and adults) from contracting and infecting others with measles, mumps, or rubella; which are all known to cause serious health complications and, in some cases, even death.

What Are Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)?

Before visiting an Orange County urgent care clinic for the MMR vaccine, it’s important to understand what measles, mumps, and rubella are and how dangerous these infections can be.

Measles

A contagious infection that causes fever, cough, runny nose, and a rash (among other symptoms). Like the rest of these infections, measles can be extremely dangerous as it can lead to further health complications. These include ear infections, brain damage, pneumonia, and death.

Luckily, with the MMR vaccine, measles can be completely avoided in most cases. In fact, two doses of the MMR vaccination is approximately 97% effective at preventing measles, according to the CDC.

Mumps

Causes headache, fever, muscle aches, tiredness, and swollen salivary glands. While mumps rarely lead to death, they can cause other complications such as deafness, swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

Rubella

An infection that is especially dangerous for pregnant women, as it can lead to a miscarriage or birth defects. Rubella symptoms include rash, headache, sore throat, fever, and red, itchy eyes.
