Hi,

The MMR vaccine is a safe and effective in protecting against measles, mumps and rubella.

It is quite safe and there is no harm in getting another dose if you may already be immune to measles, mumps, or rubella.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
