Is it true that two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97 percent effective at preventing measles?
Yes. Multiple sources, including the CDC and reference works, state that two doses of MMR vaccine are 97 percent effective at preventing measles. One popular reference book instead attributes 93 percent to measles and 97 percent to rubella, but the weight of the placed sources matches the claim.
