The MMR vaccine is generally administered to children around the age of one year, with a second dose before starting school (i.e. age 4/5). The second dose is a dose to produce immunity in the small number of persons (2â5%) who fail to develop measles immunity after the first dose.accines for the mumps and rubella became available in 1967 and 1969, respectively. The three vaccines (for mumps, measles, and rubella) were combined in 1971 to become the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
The MMR vaccine protects children against measles, mumps, and rubella. These are dangerous, even deadly diseases. Before the vaccine was approved in 1963, almost everyone got measles by the age of 18. In Canada, there were about 300,000 cases of measles every year.Since the vaccine, that number has fallen to less than 20 cases a year. Children should get the MMR shot twice to have ongoing protection from infection. Provinces vary on the timing for the second shot. 1  The first shot is given at 12 months of age.n Canada, there were about 300,000 cases of measles every year.
