MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) in English
Quick answer: Eunice Women's Clinic near Seongsu Station offers the MMR II vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) with a consultation in English with Dr. Eun Mi-na, a female OB-GYN. It is often checked before pregnancy with a rubella antibody test. The posted out-of-pocket price is 30,000 KRW per dose. Prices may change; confirm with the clinic.
What is the MMR vaccine?
The MMR vaccine protects against three viral infections: measles, mumps and rubella. It is a live attenuated vaccine, which means it contains weakened viruses. The clinic uses MMR II.
Rubella is especially important before pregnancy. Rubella infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or serious birth defects. Many people check their rubella immunity as part of a pre-pregnancy checkup.
Who should consider the MMR vaccine?
- People planning pregnancy whose rubella antibody test shows no immunity
- Adults without records of two MMR doses or proof of immunity
- People who need proof of vaccination for school, work or travel
The MMR vaccine is not given during pregnancy. It is also not suitable for some people with weakened immune systems. After vaccination, avoid pregnancy for at least one month, or as advised by the doctor.
How does vaccination work at the clinic?
- Consultation in English: Dr. Eun reviews your vaccination history, health conditions, allergies and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Rubella test (optional): A rubella IgG test can show whether you are already immune. See immunity blood tests.
- Pregnancy check: The doctor confirms you are not pregnant. A pregnancy test may be done.
- Injection: The vaccine is given as an injection, usually in the upper arm.
- Observation: You wait about 15 minutes after the injection in case of a reaction.
- Record: Ask for your vaccination details so you can keep your own record for your next dose, school, work or travel.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include soreness at the injection site and mild fever. Some people develop a mild rash, swollen glands or joint pain one to two weeks later. Serious reactions are rare. Tell the doctor if you have a weakened immune system, recently received blood products, or had a reaction to a previous vaccine.
