Should You Get A Measles Vaccine Booster? Here Are The Considerations

Should You Get A Measles Vaccine Booster? Here Are The Considerations
SHARE

The resurgence of measles in the United States has sparked concerns among many individuals regarding the necessity of receiving a measles vaccine booster. With drops in vaccination rates leading to the reemergence of the virus in various states, the importance of vaccination and herd immunity cannot be understated.

Measles is not a benign illness, as it can result in severe complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death. The recent spike in measles cases across the country serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with this highly contagious virus. In 2025 alone, there have been over 930 confirmed cases of measles reported in nearly 30 states, a significant increase from previous years.

The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been a crucial tool in preventing the spread of measles since its introduction in 1989. Children are recommended to receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, with the first dose administered between 12 and 15 months of age and the second dose between 4 and 6 years of age. Studies have shown that two doses of the MMR vaccine provide approximately 97% effective protection against measles for life.

For individuals born before 1957, presumptive evidence of immunity is assumed due to the widespread nature of measles prior to routine vaccination. However, healthcare workers may require additional protection and should consider checking their antibody levels or receiving the vaccine. Those born between 1957 and 1968 may also benefit from checking their immunity status or receiving the measles vaccine due to the timing of vaccine availability.

Individuals born between 1968 and 1989 may have only received one dose of the MMR vaccine, as the recommendation for two doses was not established until after 1989. It is advisable for this group to verify their vaccination records, check their antibody titers, or receive an additional dose of the vaccine. Younger individuals born after 1989 are likely to have received both doses of the MMR vaccine as part of routine immunization requirements for school enrollment.

Despite the effectiveness and safety of the MMR vaccine, misinformation and disinformation surrounding vaccines have proliferated in recent years. It is essential to consult with healthcare professionals and rely on reputable scientific sources for accurate information about the measles vaccine. By staying informed and educated, individuals can make informed decisions about their vaccination needs and contribute to the protection of public health.
