It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease. It is advisable to consult your doctor for complete information regarding vaccination schedules.
In Prevention of Rubella
Rubella is a viral infection that causes red rash on the body. It is transmitted by airborne droplets when infected people sneeze or cough. It occurs most often in children and young adults. Rubella infection in pregnant women can result in miscarriage, stillbirth or serious birth defects. Priorix Vaccine helps protect against this infection.
In Prevention of Mumps
Mumps is a viral disease that spreads from person to person through close contact. The most noticeable symptom is swelling in the face.

Priorix Vaccine is given for the prevention of mumps. You can consult your doctor to guide you better on vaccination schedules.
