Open late, seven days a week. Trusted advice, personal care and specialist services for Potts Point, Kings Cross and the inner city.

A combined vaccination that helps protect against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Key benefits:

• Helps protect against measles, mumps, and rubella
• Useful as a catch-up dose or before travel
• Convenient access without a GP visit

This service may be suitable if you:

• Don’t have confirmed prior immunity or vaccination history
• Are catching up on a missed childhood dose as an adult
• Are travelling to an area with a current measles outbreak

MMR vaccination is not suitable during pregnancy, as it’s a live vaccine — your pharmacist will confirm this with you before proceeding. It’s recommended as a catch-up dose for adults without confirmed immunity, and can also be relevant before travel to areas with a current measles outbreak. 

Common side effects include soreness at the injection site and, occasionally, a mild rash or fever. 

Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) for full details.

Before Your Vaccination

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your vaccination history, or your child’s
• Whether you could be pregnant
• Any plans to travel to an area with a current measles outbreak

During Your Vaccination

Your pharmacist will check your immunisation history and confirm whether you need a catch-up dose.

As MMR is a live vaccine, your pharmacist will also confirm you’re not pregnant before proceeding, then administer the injection.

How do I know if I need a catch-up dose?

Your pharmacist can review your vaccination history with you to check.

How do I find out if I’ve already had both doses?

Your pharmacist can review your immunisation history with you, or you can check My Health Record if you have one.

Can I get this before travelling?

Yes, particularly if there’s a current measles outbreak at your destination — ask about a broader pre-travel consultation.
