MMR – Measles, Mumps & Rubella

Introduction

Remember that you can also find step-by-step MMR information in your program's comprehensive PDF compliance guide, available on your dedicated resource page! MMR stands for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. You were likely immunized for MMR in childhood, but your past vaccine records are not what you need for compliance. Instead, you must demonstrate immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella through positive titers (blood tests that measure immunity). If any titers are negative or equivocal, you'll have additional follow-up steps to complete. As long as you complete each follow-up step on schedule and submit your completed steps to Complio, you will be temporarily compliant while you complete your follow-up steps.

Complete Required Steps

You must document immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella through positive titers (blood tests that measure immunity). Complete these steps:

  1. Have your healthcare provider order titers for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
  2. Complete bloodwork at provider’s designated lab location
  3. If all three titers are positive, you’ll have no follow-up steps to complete. Proceed to the documentation process.
  4. If one or more titers are negative or equivocal, you’ll have additional follow-up steps:
    • Receive at least one MMR booster (dose of MMR vaccine)
    • Have your healthcare provider order repeat MMR titer(s)
    • Complete repeat titers 6-8 weeks after your booster
    • If any repeat titer(s) are negative or equivocal, you’ll be considered a non-responder. Complete the Non-Responder Form with your provider.

Document Completed Steps

Review documentation resources for a reminder of what is required on your documentation. How to document completion of required steps:

  1. After you’ve completed your bloodwork, obtain a lab report for each titer
  2. If you need to receive a booster, obtain documentation of the booster
  3. If you need to complete a repeat titer, obtain documentation of the titer results
  4. If you need to complete the Non-Responder Form, complete the form with your provider

Submit Documentation to Complio

Review step-by-step submission instructions for a reminder of how to submit your documents.

The key is to submit each component to its corresponding requirement in the MMR category:

  1. Submit Measles titer to Measles Primary Titer requirement regardless of result
  2. Submit Mumps titer to Mumps Primary Titer requirement regardless of result
  3. Submit Rubella titer to Rubella Primary Titer requirement regardless of result
  4. If you must complete follow-up steps, submit each completed step to its individual requirement:
    • MMR booster to MMR Adult Booster 1 requirement
    • Repeat titer(s) to the repeat titer requirement(s) - Repeat Measles Titer, Repeat Mumps Titer, and/or Repeat Rubella Titer
    • Non-responder form to the MMR Non-Responder Form requirement
