I think the first MMR is at about 12 months, then there are 2 more staggered at several year intervals. Most infants get some protection from their mothers antibodies if she has them
This of course leaves some infants very vulnerable, and the effect of rubella on the unborn babies of women who are pregnant and don’t realize it can be terrible- I remember this from the 1950’s
Measles was one of the diseases that had a lot to do with wiping out native Americans when the euros arrived

You are right. Rubella is what we used to call the “3-Day” or “German” Measles. That is the one that is known for the serious effects on pregnant women. Rubeola is the Measles my friends and I got for around 10 days in the 50’s, a rather horrible experience. I believe the current outbreak is likely Rubeola, though perhaps both. The MMR is said to protect against both types of virus.
