As I cited, the CDC says to get a measles shot when you are an adult as well.

Are you doing to do this or are you anti-vaccine?

I am not anti-vaccine, and I simply had not known adults could get the measles shot. I might just look into it.

Here is the CDC's recommendations for adult vaccines:

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/adult.html

For measles for adults, you are covered by your childhood measles vaccination until age 60. So whether you need one again depends on your age.

Sure.

However, I expect you will never get that shot. Ultimately you will convince yourself you don't need it , or you can't afford it , or you could have an adverse reaction, or maybe you don't trust doctors, or you don't like needles.

I suspect, like most people, your ultimate decision will be anti-vaccine.

This chart shows 1-2 shots for measles as an adult . That seems to contradict what you are saying??

The other link I showed on the CDC site explicitly states adults should get the shot.

The Disney outbreak affected adults too. However, most adults I know are anti-vaccination because:

1) why risk it?
2) it costs money
3) they don't think about it until it matters

The CDC recommends
Adults who do not have evidence of immunity against measles should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine. [source 1]

Has anyone here actually done the "right thing" and got this shot or is this all hypocritical talk ? I would estimate that most people by default are anti-vaccines.

source 1:
http://www.cdc.gov/measles/vaccination.html


I haven't because I have evidence of immunity against measles. Note that the CDC isn't recommending the measles vaccine for all adults but rather for the adults with no evidence of immunity. (Evidence being a positive measles IgG or record of vaccination. The doctor will test if there isn't such a record or if there is reason to believe the recorded childhood vaccine is not giving protection.) It's also recommended for adults >60. So for those of us who got vaccinated as children (most or all of us) and are under 60, it isn't needed.

The chart says adults who have no evidence of immunity need it (prior to 60). The other link you showed said the same thing, you even bolded that sentence just like I did. The term "no evidence of immunity" means that adults who do have evidence of immunity, either from a childhood vaccination record or from a positive measles IgG test, don't need it till they are 60.

If he got vaccinated as a child, he doesn't need it till he's 60 (if he's 60+ he does need it). Look more closely at that CDC link, specifically at the footnotes where they explain what the different colored bars mean.

I feel the same way that you do towards them. I think they should get a life.

I trust what Janissy sites on the matter. And what are you, some sort of anti-vaxx nut?

After getting a flu vaccine do you ever get the urge to.... face east?

Vaccinations cause: autism, homosexuality, and Islam. None of conditions ever existed before vaccinations!

I had a bad reaction to the MMR vaccine (hospitalized).

I also caught measles as a teenager.

So yeah, it's not all flowers and sunshine, and if you're the unlucky one..., well, who cares about that.
