When does a child receive measles booster shot?
Measles booster shots are typically administered at two different times:
1. First booster shot: The first measles booster shot is usually given between 4 and 6 years of age. This is typically done as a combination vaccine called the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella.
2. Second booster shot: The second measles booster shot is usually given between 11 and 12 years of age. This is also typically given as the MMR vaccine.
Note: The exact timing of the measles booster shots may vary based on specific recommendations from your healthcare provider or local public health guidelines. It's important to follow the recommended schedule to ensure adequate protection against measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
