The MMR vaccine is given in protection against which of the following diseases?

  1. Mononucleosis, meningitis, rubella

  2. Meningitis, mononucleosis, rubeola

  3. Mumps, meningitis, rubeola

  4. Measles, mumps, rubella

The correct answer is: Measles, mumps, rubella

The MMR vaccine is specifically designed to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Each of these diseases is caused by a distinct virus. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to serious complications, mumps can cause inflammation of the salivary glands, and rubella is known as German measles, which can be particularly harmful during pregnancy. In contrast, other choices include diseases that are not covered by the MMR vaccine. For example, mononucleosis, often caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, and certain forms of meningitis are not prevented by this vaccine. Additionally, while rubeola is another name for measles, the inclusion of entities like meningitis in the other options does not pertain to the specific focus of the MMR vaccine’s targets. Hence, choice D accurately reflects the diseases that the MMR vaccine protects against.
