If you need a Measles Vaccine, Call the Clinic at 406-247-7130

03/18/2024

Message from CDC

As of March 14, 2024, there are 58 measles cases reported by 17 different states: Arizona, California, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.

One year ago, I announced the IHS E3 Vaccine Strategy to ensure that we offer every patient at every encounter every recommended vaccine when appropriate, including the MMR vaccine.

Etiology
Measles is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is contagious, so if one person has it, up to nine to ten people around them can become infected.

Prevention- Awareness
Measles can be prevented by the MMR vaccine, which is safe and effective in preventing measles, mumps, and rubella. The CDC recommends that children get one dose at each of the following ages:
• 12- 15 months
• 4-6 years old
• If you missed those opportunities for the vaccine when you were younger, it is recommended that teenagers and adults should get two doses of the MMR vaccine separated by at least 28 days.
