M-M-RVAXPRO is a vaccine containing measles, mumps, and rubella viruses that have been weakened. When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body's natural defences) will make antibodies against the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. The antibodies help protect against infections caused by these viruses. M-M-RVAXPRO is given to help protect you or your child against measles, mumps, and rubella.

The vaccine may be administered to persons 12 months of age or older. M-M-RVAXPRO can be administered to infants from 9 to 12 months of age under special circumstances.

M-M-RVAXPRO can also be used in measles outbreaks, or for post-exposure vaccination, or for use in previously unvaccinated persons older than 9 months who are in contact with susceptible pregnant women, and persons likely to be susceptible to mumps and rubella.

Although M-M-RVAXPRO contains live viruses, they are too weak to cause measles, mumps, or rubella in healthy people.
