Can I still get measles, mumps or rubella when I am vaccinated?

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent severe illness from measles, mumps and rubella. No vaccine is 100% effective, so it is still important to know the signs and symptoms of these diseases, even if you or your child are vaccinated.
