## Question
SUBJECT: MMR vaccine
MESSAGE: My doctor recommended I get the MMR vaccine, which covers mumps, measles, and rubella.  Isn't rubella a form of measles?  As a child, I had the 3-day measles--was that German measles or the other kind?  As a child I also had mumps.  Do I really need the MMR or just a vaccine for the rubella?

## Expert Summary
Who should get the MMR vaccination?
