As measles cases surge around the world, the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention is warning Americans to vaccinate, especially if they plan to travel.
If a child gets a vaccine before 12 months of age, they should also plan to get two more doses on the usual schedule, with the first being at 12-15 months. The CDC defines"evidence of immunity" as either being born before 1957, vaccine records showing two doses of MMR vaccine or lab results that show immunity to measles.According to the CDC's latest numbers, 36 states are behind on measles vaccination rates among kindergarteners. The agency says declining vaccination coverage nationally and abroad can be traced to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused many vaccinations to be postponed and may contribute to increased outbreaks worldwide.
