active immunization by vaccination
A mass immunization campaign is when the vaccination needs lots of people to get the jab for it to work otherwise it doesn't work and the people who had the jab won't get any benefits from having it.
You need to get MMR twice. A normal schedule is at 1 yo and 4-6 yo.

Cultures with a strong emphasis on traditional medicine and skepticism toward Western medical practices may be less likely to participate in immunization for seasonal and H1N1 influenza. Additionally, communities with low levels of trust in government and healthcare systems, often due to historical injustices or discrimination, may also show resistance to vaccination. Religious beliefs or cultural practices that prioritize natural immunity over vaccination can further contribute to lower immunization rates. Lastly, misinformation and lack of access to reliable health information can deter participation in vaccination programs.
Certain minors can get a vaccination without parental consent in Texas per a law passed in 2013. Only minors who are pregnant, or are a parent with custody of a child, can receive a vaccination without parental consent.
The percentage of getting rubella largely depends on vaccination rates and exposure to the virus. In populations with high vaccination coverage, the incidence of rubella is very low, often approaching 0%. However, in areas with low vaccination rates, the risk can increase significantly. Overall, rubella is preventable through vaccination, and the best way to reduce the risk is to ensure immunization against the disease.
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine was first licensed in the United States in 1971. It combined the three individual vaccines into one shot to improve vaccination rates and simplify immunization schedules. The MMR vaccine has since become a standard part of childhood vaccination programs worldwide.
Many diseases can be prevented by immunization, including polio, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis B, and influenza. By receiving vaccines, individuals can develop immunity to these diseases and reduce the risk of becoming infected.
Current recommendations for immunization for hepatitis B demonstrate belief that overdose is not a concern. For example, for the high-risk patient who has a three-injection series and does not demonstrate immunity via positive titer, a one-time repeat of the series if three is recommended. Similarly, for the patient unsure of Hep B immunization status who has a high-risk needle-stick, immunization is recommended.
Most boarding kennels do require proof of immunization in order for your pet to stay there. This reduces thier liability to other pet owners. Most places in the U.S. require rabies vaccination by law anyway.
