AB  - Amid an uptick in measles cases and outbreaks both in the US and abroad, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an alert on March 18 encouraging clinicians to work with schools and educators to ensure children are up-to-date on their measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines. As of March 28, 97 measles cases had been reported in 18 US states this year. Most of the cases have been linked to international travel.Full vaccination involves 2 doses of the MMR vaccine, with the first typically given when children are aged 12 to 15 months. However, children aged 6 to 11 months who will be traveling internationally should receive 1 dose before leaving.
