Important Travel Advisory: Measles Vaccination Recommendations

In light of the recent measles outbreak originating in Texas and spreading across the United States, updated travel recommendations are now in effect to protect your family:

1. Infants under 12 months:

   • An MMR vaccine is required before traveling to Canada, areas in the U.S. experiencing outbreaks, or international destinations.

2. Children aged 12 months to 4 years:

   • If your child received their first MMR dose at 12 months, a second dose is necessary at least two weeks before traveling to outbreak areas or international destinations.

3. Second MMR dose timing:

   • The second dose of the MMR vaccine must be administered at least 28 days after the first dose. If you already have two MMR doses, you are protected from contracting measles and are not required to receive additional boosters.
