Should You Get a Measles Booster Shot? Here ’s What Experts Say

Vaccination Against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella in the Light of Current Epidemic Threats: Unjustified Postponement.
This study seeks to define the reason and justification for postponing MMR vaccination in a population of children referred to the outpatient specialist immunization clinic. One hundred and thirty eight (138) children, mean 24.5 ± 26.6 months, with a history of past allergies, in whom the first-time MMR vaccination was delayed by family doctors for fear of allergic reactions, were enrolled into the study. The mean delay in a vaccine shot was 12.3 ± 26.9 months. There were 101 children who displayed a distinct allergy to the egg proteins, among other accompanying types of allergy. All of the 138 children were found ...
