In light of the recent measles exposure in Brookings shared by the SD Department of Health, please review the following and call the clinic with any concerns or questions.

If you were exposed, please follow guidance from the SD Department of Health and isolate until you are advised otherwise.

If you are concerned you may have symptoms of measles, please call to the clinic before presenting to the clinic so we can take precautions for your safety and the safety of others and help prevent spread.

Information on Measles Vaccine:

-Generally given at 1 year of age and another at 4-6 years of age (Kindergarten shots).
In the setting of a local outbreak/case, aligning with the American Academy of Pediatrics and our pediatric infectious disease guidance, MMR vaccine can be given as early as 6 months of age. If this is done, it does not count towards the primary series and your child will still need the MMR vaccine at 1 year of age and at 4-6 years of age for their best protection.

-If your child has received one MMR vaccine at age 1, the 2nd dose should be given 28 days later (instead of waiting until age 4), in the setting of local cases.

-After two doses of vaccine, about 97 to 99 of 100 people will be protected against measles compared with 93 to 95 of 100 after one dose. People who had one dose will be likely to have a boost in their immune response, but the main reason for the second dose is to protect more people rather than to boost immunity in those who were vaccinated previously.

-Anyone born before 1957 is considered to be immune from each of these diseases even if they do not recall having them. Those born between 1957 and 1967 who were naturally infected do not need a dose of vaccine. Those who received vaccines that were available between 1963 and 1967, before the 1968 vaccine was available, should receive one dose of MMR as those earlier vaccines were not as effective.

-If you are unsure of your vaccine status, call your healthcare provider's office to confirm you have received 2 MMR vaccines.
