[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope they didn’t infect other vulnerable kids[/quote] That is a significant danger since young young children cannot get the vaccination. The young ones are dependent on herd immunity and there is no more respect for herd immunity in this country. [/quote] The CDC website says babies traveling internationally older than six months should get one dose prior to travel. The CDC website says children who receive their first dose prior to 12 months will need to follow the regular schedule and get two additional doses. That said, it seems that parents in the region being impacted could discuss this with a ped and potentially vaccinate a child that is at least six months earlier. Outside of the circumstances described above, the first MMR vax can occur between 12 and 15 months. One dose is 93% effective against measles. The second dose is usually given between 4 and 6 years. Two doses are 97% effective against measles. [/quote]
