Do adults need to be vaccinated against measles?
All U.S adults born during or after 1957 should also get at least one dose of MMR vaccine unless they can show they either had the vaccine or measles disease or have a blood test that shows they are immune to measles. For certain groups of adults (for example, those who provide health care), two doses of MMR vaccine are recommended. More specific recommendations for vaccinating adults can be found at CDC’s Web page at sub-measles and measles.
