Why doesn the NHS offer single vaccines of measles, mumps and rubella?
The NHS doesn’t offer single vaccines because they haven’t been properly researched or tested to see how safe they are and how well they work, whereas the MMR vaccine has. Single vaccines aren’t recommended because they could put babies and children at an increased risk of getting measles, mumps and rubella.
