Protection from Measles When Traveling
What can I do to protect myself from Measles on my international business travel?
Protect yourself and your family by keeping your immunizations up to date.
Traveling with a current copy of your immunizations.
If you are unable to find a copy of your childhood immunizations, ask your health care provider about a vaccination schedule.
Be up to date with your vaccinations before you travel.
Any one of the following is evidence of measles immunity for international travelers:
A.) birth before 1957.
B.) Copy of childhood vaccine record showing documented injection of 2 doses of live measles virus vaccine (MMR, MMRV).
C.) Current copy of documented injection of recent Measles vaccination. Especially if no childhood vaccination record is locatable.
D.) Proof of immunity, a laboratory blood test for Measles titer.
E.) Documentation of physician-diagnosed measles.
Healthy Travels,
Nurse G
