Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am certain that my daughter (22 yrs old) has had the MMR vaccine as a child and the booster as an adult; but I am being told that it is not reflected in her current records. So my question is, is there any harm in her having a repeat MMR vaccination? Thank you.
