MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine available at the UK Pharmacist Care Clinic
MMR vaccines are available to eligible individuals at the UK Pharmacist Care Clinic.
-
Children 6 to 11 months can get one dose of the MMR vaccine.
-
Adults born before 1957 can get the MMR vaccine if they don’t have proof of immunity. This means they either do not have vaccination records or have test results showing they are not protected.
-
Individuals who have not been vaccinated and have recently been around someone with measles can get one dose of the MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure. They should also get a second dose at least 28 days later.
A visual guide to adult MMR vaccine recommendations is available by the CDC.
The UK Pharmacist Care Clinic is located at 245 Fountain Court, Room 220. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. For questions or to schedule an appointment, call the clinic at 859-562-2018.
