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.
