When is the MMR vaccine typically administered?

  1. At birth

  2. At 6 months

  3. At 12 months

  4. At 15 months

The correct answer is: At 12 months

The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is typically administered to children at around 12 months of age. This timing is crucial because it allows for the development of an effective immune response after the child has received some passive immunity through maternal antibodies. By 12 months, the infant's own immune system is generally capable of responding adequately to the vaccine. Furthermore, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is generally given during the first year of life, with a second dose recommended later, usually around 4 to 6 years of age. Administration at 12 months is also aligned with recommendations from public health agencies aimed at controlling these significantly contagious diseases in the population.
