Women known to be pregnant should not receive MMR vaccine. Pregnancy should be avoided for four weeks following MMR vaccine. Close contact with a pregnant woman is NOT a contraindication to MMR vaccination of the contact. Breastfeeding is NOT a contraindication to vaccination of either the woman or the breastfeeding child. MMR is not recommended for those with evidence of severe immunosuppression.
