How do I decide which option to use for my child’s second vaccination against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella?
For the second dose given at any age (15 months through 12 years), use of the MMRV vaccine is generally preferred over using the MMR and varicella vaccines because it requires one less injection to provide similar protection with no known additional risks of side effects. See the ACIP Recommendations.
