Dr. Alexander said people born before 1989 may need a second booster shot because of the change in vaccine recommendations.

In the past, one dose was given to kids, compared to the recommended two shots given to children today.

As for people 62 and older, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention says they should be immune.




Millenials and boomers gonna kill us all.

These Anti-vaccine idiots need to go to jail for what they've created.

Are you retarded? This has nothing to do with anti vax people.

The article states kids today get 2 rounds. Kids before 1989 didn't. That's the reason why a booster might be needed.

You can get a blood titer drawn and it can tell you if you need a booster.

I had to have titers drawn before one of my nursing jobs about 14 years ago and it showed I needed a booster MMR shot, but not for measles but for mumps(MMR stands for measles, mumps, rubella).

The anti vaxxers are the reason there is a risk of catching measles.

Yep. Certified Retard.

Measles was considered eradicated until recently. I wouldn't have to worry about it if the anti-vax crowd would just vaccinate their kids.

Nothing like calling someone else retarded and then making an absolutely retarded statement. Nice work.

It’s not anti vaxxers. Measles has been eradicated in America. It has to come from somewhere else now. You know where most of it comes from? Illegal immigrants. Illegals come from places where measles and other vaccine illnesses are still very prevalent bc they don’t have clean water or clean food or good hygiene. When they come, they carry the illness or they have it themselves. Then it spreads in contact with other people, many of whom have vaccines. Most of the places with measles outbreaks have large illegal populations

We're all gonna need one since anti-vaxxers and those who support unrestricted immigration have decided to bring the measles back in full force.

Measles has started to come back because of third world shitholers coming into our country unchecked.

While that may be partly true, if a population is vaccinated, and someone brings it in from somewhere else, nothing happens to the vaccinated population. But if part of that population is not vaccinated, then the risk increases.

Either way not vaccinating your kid is really irresponsible and that's the point.

You God damn idiot. The immigrant fricks at the border are bringing in measles. You need to go to a death camp for being a fricking sheep that gobbles up the propaganda machine 24/7.
