What is MMR Vaccine?
MMR is a combined live vaccine that provides protection against three highly contagious viral infections: measles, mumps, and rubella. Measles can cause severe complications including pneumonia and encephalitis. Mumps can lead to meningitis and infertility in males, while rubella poses serious risks to unborn babies if contracted during pregnancy.
Who Should Receive This Vaccination?
- Adults born between 1970 and 1990 who may have received only one dose of the measles vaccine
- Individuals with no documented evidence of two MMR doses
- Travellers visiting countries with active measles outbreaks
- Healthcare workers who require confirmed immunity as a condition of employment
- Women of childbearing age who are not immune to rubella
Vaccination Schedule
Two doses of the MMR vaccine are required for full protection, administered at least four weeks apart. The vaccine is not suitable during pregnancy; women who receive the MMR vaccine should avoid becoming pregnant for one month following vaccination.

Frequently Asked Question
Can adults receive the MMR vaccine at your Bethnal Green pharmacy?
Yes. The MMR vaccine is not only for children — many adults are incompletely vaccinated, particularly those born between 1970 and 1990 who may have only received one dose. Massinghams Chemist on Roman Road, Bethnal Green, provides private MMR vaccination for adults who require catch-up doses or who need documented proof of immunity for employment or travel purposes.
How many doses of the MMR vaccine are required?
Two doses of the MMR vaccine are required to ensure full and lasting protection against measles, mumps, and rubella. The two doses should be administered at least four weeks apart. If you are uncertain how many doses you have previously received, our pharmacists at Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green can advise on the appropriate course of action.
Is the MMR vaccine safe?
Yes. The MMR vaccine has an excellent safety record and has been used for decades worldwide. Common side effects include a mild fever, rash, or temporary joint stiffness, which typically resolve within a few days. Serious adverse reactions are extremely rare. Our pharmacists at Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green conduct a thorough pre-vaccination assessment to identify any contraindications.
Can I get an MMR vaccine as part of my travel prep?
Absolutely. We offer an MMR vaccine private service in London for travelers who may have missed their childhood doses. With measles outbreaks occurring globally, ensuring you have two doses of MMR is highly recommended before any international travel.
How much do private travel vaccinations cost?
Because private vaccines are not subsidised by the NHS, there is a fee for the medicine and the clinical administration. Prices vary depending on the vaccine: for example, Typhoid is usually around £30 to £50, while a full Rabies course may be higher.
