The MR vaccine is important because it protects against Measles and Rubella, two highly contagious viral infections that can cause serious complications, especially in children and pregnant women. Here's why the MR vaccine is crucial:
1. Prevents Measles:
Measles can lead to pneumonia, brain damage, blindness, and death. The vaccine drastically reduces these risks.
2. Prevents Rubella (German measles):
Rubella is mild in children but very dangerous during pregnancy. It can cause Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), leading to birth defects like deafness, heart problems, and intellectual disability.
3. Reduces Outbreaks:
High vaccination coverage helps achieve herd immunity, protecting even those who can’t be vaccinated.
4. Supports Elimination Goals:
Many countries, including India, aim to eliminate measles and rubella. Vaccination is the most effective strategy.
5. Safe and Effective:
The MR vaccine is proven to be both safe and effective, with very few side effects.
