FAQ: How do I advise parents asking about optimal timing of the measles vaccine?
- Dose #1: The first dose of the MMR vaccine should be offered as routine at the 12-month WCE
- Dose #2: The second dose should be offered as routine at the 4–6-year WCE but may be administered earlier based on parent/provider shared decision making.
- A second dose of MMR needs to be at least 28 days from the first dose.
- A second dose given at least 28 days from the first dose is valid and a third dose is not needed at 4-6 years of age.
- The second dose may be either MMR or MMRV. If MMRV is utilized, it must be at least 3 months from the first dose of the varicella vaccine.
- Dose #0: A dose of MMR should be offered between 6-11 months of age for international travel or travel to areas experiencing an outbreak. None of our states are considered “outbreak areas” currently.
- When MMR is given prior to 12 months of age, it is not a valid dose. Doses #1 and #2 are still needed.
- If a parent requests the vaccine be given at 6-11 months, and no high-risk travel is anticipated, they may receive the vaccine based on parent/provider shared decision making.

The Iowa Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (IA AAP) is comprised of nearly 400 pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, and other healthcare providers from across the state.
