Measles, Mumps & Rubella

Vaccine Cost: $65 (Cash or Check Only)

Titer Cost: Measles $14; Mumps $14; Rubella $4 (Cash or Check Only)

These three diseases are still present in our San Diego community. If you were born in the United Stated AND attended school here, you probably received this vaccination already.

You will need two vaccinations if born after 1957. If born before 1957 there are special considerations.

The MMR vaccination is a LIVE vaccine which has a greater risk of adverse effects than other vaccines. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you only receive the MMR vaccination after exhausting all your efforts to locate your vaccination records. If you still can't find your vaccination records AND you attended primary and secondary schools in the US- please consider getting an MMR titer. The MMR titer is a blood test that will tell us if you are immune to measles, mumps and rubella.

You may not get the MMR vaccine at our office if you:

  1. Are pregnant, breast feeding, think you might be pregnant or planning/trying to get pregnant. Ask your doctor. Pregnancy needs to be avoided for 3 months after this vaccination.
  2. Ever has a reaction to the MMR vaccination, are allergic to neomycin or are allergic to any of the components of the vaccination.
