MMR vaccination at Klinik Dr. Prevents Damansara Jaya — a single combined injection protecting against three highly contagious viral diseases. Given at 12 months and again at 18 months as part of the national schedule. Open 24 hours, walk-ins welcome.
One injection — three diseases. The MMR vaccine provides protection against measles, mumps, and rubella simultaneously. All three are caused by viruses and spread through respiratory droplets. Before vaccination was available, these diseases caused enormous global suffering — from measles encephalitis to congenital rubella syndrome. The MMR vaccine is one of the most studied and most impactful vaccines ever developed. Given as part of the national childhood schedule at 12 and 18 months.
The most contagious infectious disease known to medicine
Measles spreads through air — an infected person can leave the virus suspended in a room for up to 2 hours after leaving it. Symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic blotchy red rash. In most children it resolves, but complications are serious and common at a population level.
Painful swelling of the salivary glands with serious complications
Mumps causes painful swelling of the parotid glands (the salivary glands in front of the ear), giving affected individuals a characteristic "hamster cheek" appearance. While often milder than measles, mumps carries significant risk of complications.
Mild in children — devastating in pregnancy
Rubella (German measles) causes a mild rash illness in children and adults. However, rubella infection in the first trimester of pregnancy causes congenital rubella syndrome — a devastating combination of heart defects, cataracts, deafness, and intellectual disability in the developing baby.
Given at 12 months of age. The first MMR dose provides approximately 93–97% protection against measles. Both doses are needed for the fullest protection and to close the small gap left by primary vaccine failure in some children.
The second MMR dose at 18 months provides a second opportunity for full immunity — seroconverting the small proportion of children who did not respond fully to the first dose. Both doses together provide approximately 97–99% protection.
A single injection at each of the two visits — most appointments completed within 20 minutes.
No appointment needed. Let our team know your child is due for MMR — first or second dose. Bring the vaccination card if available.
Your doctor checks the child's health, confirms which dose is next, and checks for any reasons to delay (e.g. current fever, recent blood transfusion, known immune deficiency).
A single subcutaneous injection — typically into the upper arm or outer thigh. Also commonly given alongside the Chickenpox vaccine at the same visit using a separate injection site.
Dose recorded in the digital health record and vaccination card. Doctor advises on expected reactions (mild fever and rash 7–12 days post-vaccination is normal) and schedules the second dose if first was given.
