In detail
MMR Vaccine at Kenmakos Medical
Protect yourself and your family against measles, mumps and rubella with our MMR vaccination service at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley. Our trained pharmacists deliver safe, effective immunisations in a comfortable, confidential setting.
01Who should have the MMR vaccine?
The MMR vaccine is routinely given to children as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme at 12 months and again at 3 years 4 months. Adults born since 1970 who haven't had two doses should also be vaccinated. If you're unsure about your vaccination history, our team at Kenmakos Medical can review your records and advise whether you need protection.
02What does the MMR vaccine protect against?
The MMR vaccine protects against three serious viral infections: measles, mumps and rubella. Measles can cause severe complications including pneumonia and brain inflammation. Mumps can lead to deafness and meningitis, whilst rubella in pregnancy can cause serious birth defects. One dose provides around 95% protection against all three diseases.
03Are there any side effects?
Most people experience no side effects at all. Some may notice mild reactions such as a sore arm, slight fever or a temporary rash within two weeks of vaccination. Serious side effects are extremely rare. Our pharmacists will discuss what to expect and answer any concerns before your appointment at our Bletchley pharmacy.
04How do I book my MMR vaccination?
Simply visit us at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley or call our team to arrange an appointment at a time that suits you. We offer flexible scheduling to serve the Milton Keynes community.

Common questions
FAQs
If yours is not here, call the clinic and speak to the prescriber directly.
MMR VaccineCan I have the MMR vaccine if I'm pregnant?
The MMR vaccine should not be given during pregnancy as it contains a live virus. However, it's safe to have before pregnancy, and you should wait at least 28 days after vaccination before trying to conceive. If you're planning pregnancy, speak with our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical about the best timing.
MMR VaccineDo I need the MMR vaccine if I've had measles before?
Having had measles naturally provides lifelong immunity to that disease, but you may still need protection against mumps and rubella. Our team can discuss your individual history and advise whether vaccination is needed. It's always safer to vaccinate than to risk these serious infections.
MMR VaccineHow long does MMR vaccine protection last?
MMR vaccine protection is very long lasting, typically providing lifelong immunity after two doses. This is why the vaccination schedule includes two doses, given at different ages, to ensure maximum protection. You're unlikely to need boosters as an adult.
MMR VaccineCan I have other vaccines at the same time as MMR?
Yes, the MMR vaccine can be given alongside most other vaccines, including the flu jab and COVID-19 vaccine. If you need multiple vaccinations, our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical will advise on the best approach and can often administer them in one visit.
MMR VaccineWhat if I have a severe egg allergy?
The MMR vaccine is safe for most people with egg allergies, as the vaccine is highly purified. However, if you have a history of severe anaphylaxis to eggs, please inform our team before your appointment so we can take appropriate precautions and monitor you afterwards.

MMR Vaccine at Kenmakos Medical
Protect yourself and your family against measles, mumps and rubella with our convenient MMR vaccination service at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley. Our experienced pharmacists administer this vital vaccine to patients of all ages, ensuring comprehensive immunity against three serious infectious diseases.
Why the MMR Vaccine Matters
Measles, mumps and rubella are highly contagious viral infections that can cause serious complications. Measles can lead to pneumonia and encephalitis, mumps may cause deafness and meningitis, whilst rubella poses particular risks during pregnancy. The MMR vaccine provides reliable protection against all three conditions with a single injection.
The vaccine has been used safely for decades and is recommended by the NHS for all children as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme. Adults who missed their vaccinations or require a booster can also benefit from this service at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley.
Who Should Have the MMR Vaccine
Children typically receive two doses of MMR: the first at around 13 months and a second dose between three and five years old. This two-dose schedule provides long-lasting immunity for life. However, adults born before 1970 may have natural immunity from having had these diseases, whilst those born after 1970 should ensure they have received both doses.
Certain groups benefit particularly from MMR vaccination, including healthcare workers, those planning to travel abroad, women of childbearing age who are not immune, and individuals who have never been vaccinated or are unsure of their vaccination status. Our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical can advise whether you or your family need this protection.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you visit Kenmakos Medical for your MMR vaccine, our trained pharmacists will first discuss your medical history and any previous reactions to vaccines. We'll answer any questions you have about the vaccine and ensure you feel confident and comfortable before proceeding with the injection.
The vaccination itself takes only moments. You may experience mild side effects such as a slight fever, rash or soreness at the injection site, typically appearing within one to two weeks and resolving naturally. Our team will provide clear aftercare advice and you can contact us if you have any concerns following your appointment.
