MMR VACCINE IN HYDERABAD

Measles, mumps, and rubella are serious diseases. Before vaccines they were very common, especially among children.

Measles

 Measles virus causes rash, cough, runny nose, eye irritation, and fever.

It can lead to ear infection, pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring), brain damage, and death.

Mumps

 Mumps virus causes fever, headache, muscle pain, loss of appetite, and swollen

It can lead to deafness, meningitis (infection of the

Brain and spinal cord covering), painful swelling of the

Testicles  or ovaries, and rarely sterility.

Rubella (German measles)

 Rubella virus causes rash, arthritis (mostly in women) and mild fever.

 If a woman gets rubella while she is pregnant, she could have a miscarriage or her baby could be born

With  serious birth defects.

These diseases spread from person to person through the air. You can easily catch them by being around someone

Who is already infected.

Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine can protect  children (and adults) from all three of these diseases.

Thanks to successful vaccination programs these diseases  are much less common in the U.S. than they used to be.

But if we stopped vaccinating they would retourn.
