For USC raised in the USA - Measles
« on: February 19, 2025, 06:26:17 PM »
I had measles and just about every other known childhood disease, but was wondering if I would need a booster or anything. (Supposedly if you actually had measles you are immune for life.)  I came across this info - and it may be of use to some of you:

If you received two doses of the MMR vaccine according to the recommended schedule, experts said you do not need a booster shot. However, there are some cases where people may need to be revaccinated. Per the CDC, people who were vaccinated before 1968 should get another shot because they may have received a “killed” measles vaccine used at the time, which is not effective. Also, if you are uncertain of when and if you were vaccinated, or if you can’t access your vaccination records, it may be a good idea to get another shot, Doron said. The MMR vaccine is safe, and there is no harm in getting another shot if you already have immunity, according to the CDC.


Also - this may be of interest since the CDC is not necessarily reliable:

On Jan. 30, New York state started publishing a weekly Global Health Update Report. This weekly report summarizes domestic and international infectious disease outbreaks.  This weekly report from the New York State Department of Health presents summaries of select ongoing and emerging infectious disease outbreaks of interest to public health professionals and the public, both globally and in the United States. The Global Health Update summaries include preliminary and up-to-date data that are publicly available for these events at the time of posting.
