About

This report summarizes current recommendations for preventing measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome, and mumps. It includes revisions by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) from 2012 and previous recommendations from 1998 to 2011. ACIP advises 2 doses of MMR vaccine for children and adults at high risk, and 1 dose for other adults. The revisions in 2012 include criteria for evidence of immunity, vaccination recommendations for persons with HIV, and post-exposure prophylaxis for measles. The report serves as a guide for clinicians on vaccination scheduling and special populations.
