Infants should get an early first dose before the typically recommended age of 12 months old, followed by two more doses, and children over 12 months old should get an early second dose if they already have one, or two doses if they are unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the CDC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/hcp\/vaccine-considerations\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">had said<\/a> that one dose of the measles vaccine or other evidence of immunity was &#8220;sufficient for most adults.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the CDC has long had stepped up recommendations for Americans preparing for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/travel\/index.html#cdc_generic_section_2-before-international-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">international travel<\/a>. Under those recommendations, children over 12 months old, teenagers and adults should have two doses if they do not have other evidence of immunity, and infants should get an early first dose.<\/p>\n<p>Local outbreaks of the virus have also been reported to the CDC from New Jersey, Georgia and Ohio, the agency <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-texas-measles-outbreak-layoffs-rfk-vaccines\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said<\/a><\/span> last week.

During measles outbreaks, health departments may provide additional recommendations to protect their communities,&#8221; a spokesperson for the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>They said that the decision to offer an early dose of vaccine to young children &#8220;should be made carefully after weighing the risks of the potential long-term impact of lower immune responses&#8221; compared to the benefit of early protection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are no recommendations to receive a third dose of MMR vaccine during measles outbreaks,&#8221; the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<h2>Who should get another measles shot?<\/h2>\n<p>Vaccination of visitors to areas affected by outbreaks should follow the same recommendations issued by health authorities for those areas, which are being published on the agency&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/data-research\/index.html#:~:text=Find%20updated%20outbreak%20recommendations%20issued%20by%20state%20or%20local%20health%20departments%3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">website<\/a>, the CDC told doctors.<\/p>\n<p>So far, only two states \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dshs.state.tx.us\/news-alerts\/measles-outbreak-case-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Texas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdhe.ks.gov\/civicalerts.aspx?AID=1493\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kansas<\/a> \u2014 are listed by the CDC as having issued &#8220;updated outbreak recommendations&#8221; in response to the virus, which are broken down by age for most residents.<\/p>\n<p>The states say in counties facing outbreaks, adults and teenagers should get a second dose if they&#8217;ve only had one previously. If they are unvaccinated, they should get one dose immediately, followed by a second dose at least 28 days later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Infants 6 to 11 months old should get an early first dose, the recommendations say. They then should receive a second dose at 12 to 15 months and a third at 4 to 6 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Children over 12 months old who have one dose should get an early second dose, as long as it&#8217;s been at least 28 days since the first. If they haven&#8217;t been vaccinated, they should get one dose immediately, followed by another at least 28 days later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, individuals born between 1957 and 1968 who received an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/measles-vaccine-booster-what-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">older MMR vaccine<\/a><\/span>, are recommended to get at least one dose of the current vaccine.
