Protect your health with the MMR Vaccine (Priorix)
Stay protected against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella with the trusted MMR vaccine, available at you Unichem Pharmacy without a prescription.
What is the MMR vaccine?
The MMR vaccine (Priorix) is designed to protect against three highly contagious diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. It works by helping your body build a strong immune response without causing the illnesses.
The MMR vaccine in NZ contains weakened (attenuated) forms of the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. These are not strong enough to make you sick, but potent enough to help your immune system to recognise, fight and build immunity against them. Think of it as giving your body a training session — so if you're ever exposed to the real viruses, your immune system knows exactly what to do.
Most people receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, which offers long-lasting protection.
The MMR vaccine may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, speak with your Unichem pharmacist for personalised advice.
