Do you Need a Measles Booster?
Maybe ....
Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, an epidemiologist and data scientist with a Masters in Public Health and a PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, is a professor at Yale School of Public Health and author of Your Local Epidemiologist (YLE) newsletter.
The short answer, says Dr. Jetelina, is maybe. It depends on your age, when you either contracted measles or had a measles vaccine, and if you're medically vulnerable.
Read about her recommendations in a recent YLE newsletter.
