MMR vaccine

2022-12-12 10:34:27
Hello My son is 3 and half years old now..We are in UK.. He was given MMR vaccine twice in India when he was 9 months and 12 months. Here in UK MMR will be given to kids only after 3 years.. here doctor suggested to have it again, as they are more vulnerable to measles after 3 years. Is it fine if 3rd dose of MMR is given ? Doctors here suggested that its fine to give a booster dose of MMR and nothing will happen because of that. But just want to double check. Please let me know if additional dose of MMR can be given or not.
