Why records matter
Measles is highly contagious, and protection is assessed using documented vaccination, birth year and other evidence of immunity. MMR may also be relevant for mumps and rubella protection.

MMR Vaccine
MMR is a combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. Your birth year, number of documented doses, travel plans, work or school setting and individual health can affect whether a review is useful.

What to know
Travel and exposure questions
People planning travel outside Canada, working in health care, attending post-secondary education or responding to a possible exposure may need specific guidance.
Individual assessment
