Measles and meningococcal vaccine (MCV) are totally different and both have some age recommendations. Please consult your Pediatrician. MCV is for meningitis whereas measles vaccine is MMR ie for measles mumps rubella.

MCV1.. MCV2 is different from MCV ( meningococcal vaccine).. MCV1 means measles containing vaccine.. MMR means measles mumps nd rubella.. If you are giving MMR then no need to give MCV1 vaccine.. MCV ie meningococcal vaccine is for meningitis .. Monovalent c meningococcal vaccine can be given at the age of 1 yr.. single dose..
