The CDC is urging increased vaccination against measles in the U.S. and internationally, particularly for young children traveling abroad. There have been 58 confirmed cases of measles in the U.S. this year, primarily linked to international travel. Countries like Austria, the Philippines, Romania, and the UK are experiencing outbreaks. The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine for children and adults without immunity, with the first dose between 12-15 months and the second between 4-6 years. Travelers should consult a doctor at least six weeks before departure and ensure they are fully vaccinated two weeks prior to travel to avoid infection.
