The Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) has revealed that more than 89,000 doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine were administered in 2024 to children aged one to seven years in the emirate, reinforcing its commitment to protecting the health and wellbeing of the community.

The national vaccination programme currently includes two doses of the MMR vaccine, with the first dose given at 12 months and the second at 18 months of age. However, to ensure enhanced immunity against the disease, ADPHC provided an additional free dose to children in the age group of one to seven years as part of the National Measles Immunisation Campaign.
