[quote=Anonymous] And for more fun times brought by the anti-vaxxers, note that getting the second dose early may be helpful, but it's demonstrated not to be as effective. https://academic.oup.com/cid/article-abstract/55/3/394/614245 [b]Risk of Measles When the First Dose of a 2-Dose Schedule of Measles Vaccine Is Given at 12–14 Months Versus 15 Months of Age[/b] [quote]Despite compliance with the recommended 2-dose measles immunization schedule, 6% of high school students were susceptible during this outbreak. Residual susceptibility was 2–4-fold higher among 2-dose recipients who had received the first dose of vaccine prior to 15 months of age. If confirmed in other settings, these results suggest that administration of the first dose of measles vaccine before 15 months of age may not be optimal for measles elimination efforts.[/quote][/quote]
