Mumps vaccine query

2026-03-13 18:16:09
Doctor, my baby received the MR vaccine at 9 months as per the Indian government schedule. Since MR does not cover mumps, should we give an optional MMR vaccine at 12 months for mumps protection, or is it better to continue only with the MR dose (govt) again at 18 months?
