“How effective is the measles vaccine?”
There are, like, 6 measles outbreaks in the United States right now and I'm pretty nervous. But I got my measles vaccine a while ago when I was a kid. How effective is this vaccine against measles?
1 Answer
The measles vaccine, known as MMR, is highly effective in preventing measles infection. Two doses of the vaccine provide long-lasting immunity for the majority of individuals. If you received the recommended doses, you have a high level of protection against measles. Keep your immunizations up to date and consult with a healthcare professional for any specific concerns.
