Zyvac MMR Vaccine belongs to the class of medicines called ‘immunizing agents’ used to prevent Measles, Mumps, and Rubella infections. Measles is an infectious viral disease that causes fever and a red rash in children. Mumps is a contagious viral disease caused by a paramyxovirus, which causes fever and swelling, particularly of the parotid gland. Rubella is also a contagious disease caused by the rubella virus. All these conditions can be prevented by effective vaccination.

Zyvac MMR Vaccine is a vaccine or immunizing agent which is made from a live and weakened or attenuated virus (measles, mumps and rubella). It helps to develop immunity by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies. It is essential to take the vaccine doses as per the doctor’s advice for effective protection against the disease.

Zyvac MMR Vaccine will be administered by a healthcare professional. In a few cases, Zyvac MMR Vaccine may cause side-effects such as low-grade fever, redness, pain, and swelling at the injection site. These side-effects are temporary and resolve over time. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worse.
