There used to be...Merck is the only company in this country that manufactured the measles only vaccine (attenuvax), but last year they stopped making it, It is not clear if and when they will make it again. There are rumors that they will start again in 2011, but I have not seen this in a press release from Merck.

On October 21, 2009, Merck announced that based on input from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), professional societies, scientific leaders, and customers, Merck has decided not to resume production of ATTENUVAX® (Measles Virus Vaccine Live), MUMPSVAX® (Mumps Virus Vaccine Live), and MERUVAX®II (Rubella Virus Vaccine Live).

Unfortunately, Merck announced at the end of last year that they will not be resuming production. https://www.merckvaccines.com/monova...age_102109.pdf
