Science Made Simple
How the MMR Vaccine Works
1. Live-Attenuated Viruses
Contains weakened measles, mumps, and rubella viruses — too weak to cause illness but strong enough to stimulate immunity.
2. Immune Training
Your immune system produces antibodies that recognize these viruses, preparing your body to defend itself if exposed.
3. Immune Memory
Vaccination creates long-term immune memory, allowing your body to respond quickly if measles, mumps, or rubella are encountered later.
4. Lifelong Protection
Two doses provide up to 97% protection and decades of safety against measles, mumps, and rubella.
