Measles Vaccination and Immune Memory | Spokane News

Published 17 hours ago
Description

Your kids are still well-protected even if some friends aren’t vaccinated—but full doses of the measles vaccine give the strongest shield. Measles can trigger “immune system amnesia,” temporarily leaving your body vulnerable to other infections as it rebuilds its defenses, sometimes taking months or years. Yet measles itself grants lifelong immunity because the virus doesn’t mutate much—unlike flu or COVID. And babies under 12 months? They’re especially at risk since they can’t yet be vaccinated, making high community vaccination rates vital for everyone’s safety.
