Schedule
-
The first shot is recommended at 12-15 months.
-
A second MMR is recommended prior to school entry at 4-6 years or prior to entry into junior high at 11-13 years. Some states require a second MMR at kindergarten entry.
Adults 18 years or older who were born after 1956 should also receive MMR if they are uncertain of their immunization status or if they have only had one MMR prior to school entry. Adults born during or prior to 1956 are presumed to be immune. Many people within that age group had the actual diseases during childhood.
