Measles Prevention and Exposure: Protecting Your Family


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Beehive Doc Talks with Dr. Blair Rolnick! Dr. Rolnick focuses on measles prevention and response to exposure. She highlights the importance of basic hygiene practices and details the critical role of the MMR vaccine, which offers high protection rates against measles and is recommended in a two-dose series for children. She outlines updated CDC recommendations for children traveling internationally to receive vaccinations at adjusted ages. For those potentially exposed to measles, immediate healthcare provider contact is advised, with specific treatment varying by age and immunization status, including the administration of immunoglobulins or the MMR vaccine.
