WHAT PROQUAD I
S AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ProQuad
is a vaccine co
ntaining meas
les, mumps, rubella,
and chickenpox (varicella) viruses that
h
ave been weakened. When
a person is
given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s natural
defences
) will make antibodies agains
t the measles,
mumps, rubella, and
varicella viruses. The
antibo
dies help protect against diseases caused by these viruses.
P
roQuad is given to help
protect you
r child against measles, mumps, rubella
, and chickenpox
(varicella)
. The vaccine may be adminis
tered to perso
ns from 12 months of
age.
ProQuad ma
y also be adm
inistered to infants from 9 months of age under special circum
stances (to
co
nform with national vaccination schedules, outbreak situatio
ns, or travel to a
region with high
prevalence of measle
s).
Although
ProQuad contains liv
e
viruses, they a
re too weak t
o cause measles, mumps, rubella, or
chickenpox (varicella) in
healthy people.
