MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Vaccine in Bethnal Green
Three-in-one protection against highly infectious diseases. With measles cases rising in the UK and abroad, making sure you and your family are fully protected matters more than ever. Available on Roman Road, E2.
Three-in-One Protection Against Highly Infectious Diseases
The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella, three highly infectious diseases in a single course, and it is available at our Bethnal Green clinic. Located at 197–199 Roman Road in London E2, we provide the MMR vaccine to children and adults across Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets and East London. Although these diseases were once common in childhood, routine vaccination has made them far rarer in the UK. However, measles in particular has seen a resurgence in recent years, both here and abroad, as vaccination rates in some communities have fallen. Because these infections spread so easily, ensuring you and your family are fully protected is more important than ever, whether for everyday life or before travelling overseas. The vaccine is safe, effective and provides long-lasting protection once the full course is complete.
Understanding Measles, Mumps and Rubella
Each of the three diseases covered by the MMR vaccine can cause significant illness. Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known and spreads through coughs and sneezes; it causes a high fever, cough, sore eyes and a distinctive rash, and can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and, rarely, inflammation of the brain. Mumps causes painful swelling of the glands at the sides of the face and can lead to complications including hearing problems. Rubella, also known as German measles, is usually mild but is extremely dangerous if caught during pregnancy, as it can cause serious harm to the unborn baby. All three viruses spread easily from person to person, and because they circulate in many parts of the world, unvaccinated travellers can be exposed and bring infections home.

Who Needs the MMR Vaccine
The MMR vaccine is given routinely to children in the UK as two doses, which provide strong, long-lasting protection. However, not everyone is fully protected. Some adults may have missed one or both doses, particularly if they grew up at a time when the vaccine was less widely used. Anyone unsure whether they have had two doses is encouraged to check, as being fully vaccinated is the best way to stay protected and to help prevent outbreaks. The vaccine is also particularly relevant for those planning to travel, and for students and healthcare workers who may be at greater risk of exposure.
What to Expect From the MMR Vaccine
The vaccine is given as an injection, usually into the upper arm or thigh, and full protection requires two doses given at least a month apart. Before your vaccination, our clinician will review your health and vaccination history to confirm the vaccine is suitable. Some people experience mild side effects such as soreness, a mild fever or a brief rash a week or so afterwards, as the vaccine prompts the body to build immunity. These reactions are usually mild and pass on their own, and the vaccine has an excellent safety record.
Measles, Travel and Catching Up
Measles remains common in many countries, so full protection is important before you travel. Women planning a pregnancy are advised to ensure they are protected against rubella beforehand. At our clinic, we can check your vaccination history and provide any doses you need, helping to close gaps in protection for both children and adults and our team will let you know if a second dose is needed and when it should be given.
