MMR Vaccine in Singapore

At Mediway, the MMR vaccine is $60 per dose. Two doses are recommended for full immunity, so the typical adult course is $120 across two visits four to eight weeks apart. An optional serology test ($120) is available if you want to confirm existing immunity before vaccinating. All prices are GST-inclusive.

Adults born after 1970 without documented two-dose vaccination, or with uncertain immunity status, may benefit from catch-up MMR. This is particularly relevant for healthcare and childcare workers, women planning pregnancy, travellers to areas with active measles transmission, and migrant domestic workers under the MOM regulation effective June 2025.

For most people, two documented doses of MMR provide long-lasting protection and a routine booster is not required. If immunity status is uncertain, a measles, mumps and rubella IgG serology test can confirm protection without re-vaccinating unnecessarily.

Adults catching up: at least four weeks between Dose 1 and Dose 2; we typically recommend four to eight weeks. Children: per Singapore’s National Childhood Immunisation Schedule, Dose 1 at 12 months and Dose 2 at 18 months. If you have already received Dose 1 elsewhere and are uncertain when Dose 2 is due, bring your record to your appointment.

Yes. We issue a vaccination certificate after each dose, including the date, vaccine brand (M-M-R II), batch number, and our doctor’s signature. This is accepted by employers, schools, and overseas immigration authorities for documentation purposes.

Most people have mild or no reactions. Common: sore arm at the injection site, low-grade fever five to twelve days post-vaccine, occasional mild rash. Rare: severe allergic reaction (typically within minutes; observed at the clinic). If you develop high fever, difficulty breathing, or significant swelling, seek medical attention.

Yes. MMR is considered compatible with breastfeeding for women who need to be vaccinated. The viruses in MMR do not pose a risk to nursing infants. Pregnancy is the relevant restriction, not breastfeeding.

From June 2025, the Ministry of Manpower requires evidence of measles immunity for incoming MDWs from selected countries. Acceptable evidence includes a documented two-dose MMR record, a positive measles IgG serology result, or completion of MMR vaccination at a Singapore GP clinic. Mediway provides MDW MMR vaccination with same-day certification.
