You are considered protected (immune) if you have ONE of the following:
• You were born before 1957, OR
• You have documentation of at least 1 dose of MMR vaccine (two doses are recommended to be considered fully immune), OR
• You have ever had measles diagnosed by a healthcare provider
Measles vaccination is recommended for anyone age 1 and older who may be unvaccinated to protect themselves and others. Children should get the MMR vaccine at 12–15 months and again at 4–6 years, with earlier doses (as young as 6 months) sometimes recommended during special circumstances such as for travel or during outbreaks. Check with your healthcare provider with any questions.
