A girl of ten years was vaccinated for measles at birth. she had measles infection at four years. should she be vaccinated now or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: At least in the us, the measles vaccine is never given before 6 mo(will not work), and then only if travel in an indemic area is planned. It is given at 1 ANS 4-5 yrs. If a wild case of measles is documented, the vaccine would not be needed, but separate MMR components are no longer produced or availabel in the us, and the other components would still be needed. Having the vaccine again is ok.
