 Hi, I am Dr. Suresh, consultant in internal medicine working in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. On the account of world immunization week, I would like to today tell about measles vaccine, basically measles, mums and rubella. So as we know that measles is a contagious disease, commonly we see both in children and adults. So usually patients present with fever, body pain, tiredness and macular papero rashes these are red, flat rashes what we find and it can go into complication in the future like bronchitis, RNKFLitis and all. And usually patients will have other viral like illness like lot of tiredness, weakness and all. So basically diagnosis of measles is easy, so for acute infection we do measles IgM and for immunization, post immunization titer we have to do measles IgG. So we give measles vaccine at 9 months, 15 months and booster dose at 5 years for children. So usually now the combined vaccine comes measles, mums, rubella where it is used at 9th month, 15th month and the booster dose at 5 years. Those who have not taken measles vaccine or MMR vaccine so for adults usually it is given two doses that is 4 weeks apart. So if you take one dose now after one month you have to take the second dose. Usually a lot of people who are traveling abroad in outside universities they recommend two doses of vaccine 28 days apart. So as we know these measles, mums and rubella can cause future complication. Usually the other one is mums which usually infects the salivary gland, majorly parotid gland. Sometimes it can be one side unilateral or it can be bilateral. It also causes fever, rashes and all and if it is not treated it can lead to harkitis that is testicular inflammation and can cause permanent sterility. And rubella is other word called as German measles. It also causes fever, body pain, rashes. So these also can cause future complications. So it is important to get immunization where it is almost 100% preventable. So MMR vaccine is available all over so it is recommended to take for children it is around 9 months and 15 months first two doses then the booster dose at 5 years. For adults it is two doses vaccine those who have not taken in childhood. So it is four weeks apart that is if you take one dose now and the next dose will be after 28 days or 30 days. Thank you very much.
