Friendly service, vaccinations and everyday health advice on Darlinghurst Road. Potts Point Pharmacy has served the Potts Point community for over 10 years, and our pharmacists are here to help Monday to Friday.

A combined vaccination that helps protect against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Key benefits:

• Helps protect against measles, mumps, and rubella
• Useful as a catch-up dose or before travel
• Convenient access without a GP visit

This service may be suitable if you:

• Don’t have confirmed prior immunity or vaccination history
• Are catching up on a missed childhood dose as an adult
• Are travelling to an area with a current measles outbreak

MMR vaccination is not suitable during pregnancy, as it’s a live vaccine — your pharmacist will confirm this with you before proceeding. It’s recommended as a catch-up dose for adults without confirmed immunity, and can also be relevant before travel to areas with a current measles outbreak. 

Common side effects include soreness at the injection site and, occasionally, a mild rash or fever. 

Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) for full details.

Before Your Vaccination

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your vaccination history, or your child’s
• Whether you could be pregnant
• Any plans to travel to an area with a current measles outbreak

During Your Vaccination

Your pharmacist will check your immunisation history and confirm whether you need a catch-up dose.

As MMR is a live vaccine, your pharmacist will also confirm you’re not pregnant before proceeding, then administer the injection.

How do I know if I need a catch-up dose?

Your pharmacist can review your vaccination history with you to check.

How do I find out if I’ve already had both doses?

Your pharmacist can review your immunisation history with you, or you can check My Health Record if you have one.

Can I get this before travelling?

Yes, particularly if there’s a current measles outbreak at your destination — ask about a broader pre-travel consultation.
