MMR Vaccine should be given for sure at this age, but it needs a gap of atleast 1month from prevoius vaccine .
And studies have shown that Simultaneous administration of MMR and DTaP compared with MMR alone may increase the rate of hospital admissions related to lower respiratory tract infections.
Next Steps
Henceforth your child has to get his MMR shot next month and then his DTap in consecutive visits .
Health Tips
Another dose of MMR(booster) has to be given at 4-5yrs of age.

Hi, you get MMR shot at 15 months. If not vaccinated, get MMR shot after 4 weeks.
