A member asked:
If i have had the main measles jab but not the booster one. is there a chance i could get them again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The primary measles vaccine is thought to be protective for 80%+ of recipients while the booster brings that into the high 90's. You may be at risk and not know it. A measles antibody titre could tell you if you are or you could just get the shot.
