What to know if unsure about your measles immunity status
With measles cases surging across the U.S. and vaccination rates declining, public health experts are urging Americans to verify their immunity status. While one MMR dose is typically sufficient for adults, certain situations may require a booster shot. Experts explain that two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 97% effectiveness and confer lifelong immunity. For individuals unsure of their vaccination history, checking records or consulting a healthcare provider is essential to prevent further outbreaks.
