Measles outbreaks: Is the vaccine good for life or do you need a booster?
Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns of increasing measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad, mostly linked to international travel.

  • The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is highly effective, with two doses proving 97% effective. A single dose already provides 93% protection.

  • The CDC considers you protected from measles if you either received two vaccine doses, received one dose and do not need a booster, or were born before 1957.

  • Once fully vaccinated, no booster shots are required, and the two doses provide lifelong immunity. Individuals unsure of their childhood vaccination status should consult with their healthcare provider.

Quick Glance: Tips for Preventing Whooping Cough Amid Increasing Incidence
  • With a significant rise in cases in England in January, whooping cough is being more frequently diagnosed.

  • A key disparity between a regular cough and whooping cough lies in the intensity of symptoms, such as strong coughing fits, especially at night, accompanied by a high-pitched 'whoop,' vomiting, red face, and breathing difficulties.

  • Whooping cough is highly contagious and can have serious consequences, particularly for unvaccinated babies and children.

  • The most effective prevention against whooping cough remains vaccination, included in the NHS routine immunization schedule and administered to infants.
