About this program
This vaccination program is coordinated by The Vaccination Hub in partnership with selected Victorian Local Public Health Units. We make it easy for eligible residents to access free MMR vaccines at participating community pharmacies.
The MMR vaccine protects you against measles, mumps and rubella, all highly contagious diseases that can make you very sick. With measles cases on the rise, ensuring adults are fully protected is a crucial public health priority. The MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect individuals and reduce community transmission.
