Do adults need the MMR vaccine for protection?

Yes, adults may need the MMR vaccine if they haven't been vaccinated or are at higher risk. It's essential for protection against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Understanding the Need for the MMR Vaccine in Adults

The MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, is not just for children. Adults may also need this vaccine for several reasons. If you were never vaccinated as a child, or if you lack evidence of immunity, getting the MMR vaccine is crucial to protect yourself and others from these highly contagious diseases.

Who Should Consider the MMR Vaccine?

  • Unvaccinated Adults: If you have not received the MMR vaccine or have not had the diseases, you should consider vaccination.
  • High-Risk Groups: Certain adults, such as healthcare workers, international travelers, and students in post-secondary institutions, are at a higher risk and should ensure they are vaccinated.
  • Women of Childbearing Age: Women planning to become pregnant should ensure immunity to rubella to prevent complications during pregnancy.
