Measles Vaccine (Live) (1000ccid50)

Overview M-Vac Vaccine

The Measles vaccine, M-Vac, is a two-dose injection protecting children from measles. Administered by a healthcare provider (not self-administered), the first dose is given at 9-12 months, the second at 16-24 months. Catch-up doses are available until age 5. Measles can lead to severe complications including seizures (frequently linked to fever), ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, and, rarely, brain damage or death. Common, temporary side effects after M-Vac may include mild injection site pain and redness, low-grade fever, rash, and upper respiratory symptoms. Persistent or worsening side effects require medical attention; your doctor can offer strategies for symptom management. Before vaccination, inform your doctor of any pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney conditions, and all medications the child is currently receiving to ensure vaccine safety.
