thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4540044-measles-outbreaks-is-the-vaccine-good-for-life-or-do-you-need-a-booster/
Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?

- 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.
