Measles Boosters? Not Needed, But Here's Why | San Jose News

Measles cases are surging, with more infections this year than last—most affected are unvaccinated, but a surprising few who got both shots are also falling ill. Experts say no routine boosters are needed yet, since measles mostly circulates in humans and has a harder time mutating. The CDC and WHO still back the standard two-dose schedule, with adults unsure of their status advised to get at least one shot. While immunity wanes slightly over time, your body still remembers how to fight measles. Boosters aren’t recommended or covered, and getting measles might even weaken your defense against other diseases—so high vaccination rates remain key to protecting everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
