MMR vaccine vials. MMR is a combined vaccine used to prevent three diseases: measles,mumps and rubella. The first injection is given in the infant's second year,with a booster at four to six years of age. The vaccine consists of weakened samples of the three viruses,causing a weakened response from the body's immune system,which prepares defences against future infection. Measles is a potentially fatal disease. Vaccines are given as part of a childhood vaccination schedule. Combined vaccines speed up this process. These vials were produced by US multinational pharmaceutical company Merck and Co | |
