• MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)
  • Storage & Handling

I misplaced the diluent for the MMR dose so I used normal saline instead. Is there any problem with doing this?

Only the diluent supplied with the MMR vaccine should be used to reconstitute any vaccine. A vaccine reconstituted with the incorrect diluent should be repeated.
