Now with the full return of measles to America we’ll need to find ways to protect infants 5-11 months not yet old enough to receive their first dose of MMR vaccine. In low income countries with lots of measles transmission they recommend a dose at 6 months and then again at 12 months and a third dose by age 5. We’re pretty much at that tipping point here’s my article @AnnalsofIM acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…
Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.
1️⃣ In countries where measles is common, it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age; in other countries, at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure full protection.
Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.
Everyone should watch the “Doc” episode from last night
