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.

- Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.
- During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.
