Does my 9-month-old baby need to take the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine during the government drive if they already received the measles vaccine at 8 months?

Asked by Female, 28 · 8 days ago

Yes, your baby should still receive the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MR) vaccine during the government drive. The dose given at 8 months was likely a measles-only vaccine, meaning your baby still needs protection against Rubella and Mumps. The MR vaccine helps protect against measles and rubella, while MMR-containing vaccines provide protection against measles, mumps, and rubella as per the recommended immunisation schedule. Moreover, campaign doses act as an extra booster to ensure strong immunity, which is safe and highly recommended. However, please ensure that a minimum gap of at least 4 weeks (28 days) has passed since the previous dose at 8 months before taking the campaign vaccine. Always inform the vaccination team about your baby's prior immunisation history.
