Vaccinations for Medical in Toronto

I had the MMR vaccine when I was 3 years old. Do i need to get a second dose of it for medical? On the list Dr. Seiden has on his website it says" proof of immunization for mumps, measles and German measles" but it doesn't break it down into multiple immunizations like it does the other vaccines.

MMR is a single dose vaccination. They don't break it down.

A titre test will tell you if you need a booster. You can have your GP do a titre test and give you the shots you need. Then bring a copy of the vaccination sheet from your doctor to the immigration medical so you do not have to pay extra 100s of $ for shots at the immigration medical.

Thanks for the info..my medical is on May 18th. probably won't have time to get the results back from that. I think it's only $60 to get an MMR shot at the medical. So if it comes down to it I'll just pay. I know it's just the one shot for all three but if anyone knows if you need a second vaccination as an adult for this medical I would love to know! I've been sick and on antibiotics so I'm not sure they will give me the MMR before it's time for my medical, I was planning on going to public health next week and getting it but I will still be on meds.

I was just talking to a friend that just went through the CR-1..she got approved a couple months back. If you had the MMR when you were over the age of 1 then you don't need 2 doses. If you were under 1 then you need the second dose. Phew.
