Planning a trip outside the U.S.?
Before you travel internationally, we strongly encourage you to:
- Check your destination and CDC’s global travel notices.
- Know your measles vaccination status.
- Call your doctor, local health department, or a pharmacy (for travelers 18+ years) or travelers’ clinic to schedule an appointment for an MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. CDC does not recommend measles vaccine for infants younger than 6 months of age.
- Monitor your health for three weeks after you return to the U.S.
