MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)
Vaccine Recommendations

We often see college students who lack vaccination records, but whose titer results show they are not immune to some combination of measles, rubella, and/or mumps. What type of vaccine should these students receive?

Single antigen vaccine is no longer available in the U.S.; the student should get the combined MMR vaccine. If a college student or other person at increased risk of exposure cannot produce written documentation of either immunization or disease, and titers are negative, they should receive two doses of MMR.
