Mumps and measles viruses
Measles has a vaccine, which is given with the vaccine for mumps and rubella; the name is MMR vaccine. The first dose is administered at the age of 12-15 months and the second dose is administered at the age of 4-6 years. The reason why the vaccine is delayed until the age of one year is due to the presence of antibodies from the mother in the baby’s system until this period.
