The measles vaccine is combined with mumps and rubella (MMR).
Children get MMR doses at 12-15 months and at 4-6 years of age; in some situations, the second MMR may be given as early as one month after the first dose.
An early dose of MMR is recommended for children 6-12 months of age who will be traveling internationally or where outbreaks are occurring.
Adults who have not had measles or measles vaccine should receive at least one dose of MMR vaccine, if they were born in or after 1957.
Students (including college students), health care workers and international travelers (not born before 1957) need to have received two doses of MMR vaccine; if they have not, they should get vaccinated.
