Do your patients have plans to travel outside the U.S.?

Remember, measles is still common in many parts of the world. Infants 6–11 months of age should get 1 early dose of MMR vaccine before international travel.

Then at 12 months of age and older, the infant should receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine separated by at least 28 days.
