tibodi
es help prot
ect against
infections
caused by these viruses.

and rubella. The
vaccine m

nistered to persons 12
months of age or older.
M-M-RvaxPro

months of ag
e under special circumstances.
M-M-RvaxPro can also b

aks, or for post-exposure vaccination, or for use in
previously unvaccinated persons older than 9
months who are in contact with suscept
ible pregnant
