In the ACIP recommendations for Immunization of Healthcare Workers, measles immunity is defined as: a) physician-diagnosed measles; b) laboratory evidence of measles immunity (persons who have an “indeterminate” level of immunity upon testing should be considered nonimmune); or c) appropriate vaccination on or after the first birthday of two doses of live measles vaccine separated by at least 28 days.
