How the MMR Vaccine Works

The MMR vaccine (Priorix) contains weakened, live versions of the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. These are not strong enough to cause illness but are effective in training your immune system.

Once vaccinated, your body develops protective antibodies and immune memory, so if you are exposed later, your immune system can recognize and fight off these diseases quickly.

  • Uses live-attenuated (weakened) viruses
  • Helps the body build long-term immune protection
  • Does not cause measles, mumps, or rubella
