How concerned are you about measles?

[Anonymous]

If your toddler has had at least one dose they should have some degree of protection. If I had a six month + I would consider a conversation with the pediatrician about getting it early.

If younger kid, I would carefully consider where I was traveling.

The Covid vaccine isn’t working? Are people still dying by the tens of thousands each week?

The measles vaccine is 97% effective and infants under 1 year are not vaccinated. Assuming 200 million people in the US are vaccinated and this highly contagious infection spread, 6 million people and infants are at risk.

DP but in no world does anyone consider the COVID vaccine a success. The amount of damage the “health professionals” did in two years will last generations and this is just the latest example. There will be more and we’re allowed to be angry about it.

I consider the COVID vaccine a success and am not alone in that. That's quite the sweeping generalization you shared.

The covid vaccine was absolutely a success. The implementation of it was not and will have lasting damage. Unfortunately our population is too stupid for nuance so we are where we are with respect to vaccines.

Yes, I have multiple health professionals in my family and they were absolutely drowning during 2020. My Dad was semi retired and came back at great personal risk.

Seriously, go talk to anyone who worked in a hospital at the time and ask them what they went through and how things changed post vaccine.

Just go to cvs and get a single MMR booster for everyone in your family. After two weeks, you can rest easy.

Right...it won't spread at all. /S

I'm wary, but not freaked out. It's something to keep an eye on. We've had measles outbreaks before this one. They tend to flare up and burn out pretty quickly. If you stay away from public gatherings and school settings and daycare settings in areas of the country that have outbreaks right now, you should be fine. Get your kids vaccinated ASAP. Get a booster if you're over 40. If you have to be somewhere there might be measles, wear an N95; it's airborne.

Uh, this is the expectant and postpartum moms forum…pregnant women and young babies can’t get the vaccine.

Thank you!! I was so confused by all these comments just saying well in vaccinated!

( and obviously covid vaccines were massive success...to this day I don't understand why trump doesn't brag more about the success of his operation warp speed)

If I was pregnant right now, and had an older kid aged 6-12 months, I would ask my pediatrician about vaccinating the baby. The first shot isn’t usually given until 12 months but can be given at six months.

If nothing else, the conversation might be reassuring (DMV vaccination rates were high when my kids were young and exemptions hard to get).

As of today living in this area and everyone is vaccinated, not concerned. But if they don’t get a handle on this, it is going to spiral quickly. Measles is very contagious.

Just asked the ped at our 4 month appointment because we are about to travel (not to an area of outbreak, but to a tourist spot) and she said no need to worry, just steer clear of anyone visibly sick.

If you’re pregnant, did your OB check your titers? I’m sure they would order a test.

An infant just tested positive for measles, having been exposed overseas on vacation and now exposing an entire plane full of people.

Slightly worried because we have an 8-month-old. MIL & FIL live in TX and we have told them that unless they get boosters and quarantine before visiting us, they are not welcome to visit in April as planned. MIL is fine with that. She's already gotten a booster because she was first vaccinated in 1965. FIL is being stubborn. I wouldn't be surprised if MIL leaves him behind to quarantine and visit. She's about at the end of her rope with him anyway. He's gone off the deep end with the maga movement. SIL, who also lives in TX near them, reports that they fight nonstop and FIL hasn't slept in their room since last fall.

Are boosters being given out regularly for elderly? I don’t have an upcoming pediatrician appt but would like to know general guidance for visiting family members.
