Reactivate MMR vaccinations in schools to prevent outbreaks, says expert

KLANG: The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination should be reactivated in schools to prevent outbreaks, like in Melaka recently, says an expert.

The exercise was stopped after the decision to inoculate children at nine months old, followed by a booster at age one was made in 2016, said Immunise4Life programme technical committee chairman Prof Datuk Dr Zulkifli Ismail.
