Measles. Two (2) doses of live measles virus vaccine after the 1st birthday at least 30 days apart with one (1) of the doses given after 15 months of age. A physician's certification of laboratory evidence of immunity in the blood will satisfy these requirements.
Measles a. Health care providers who work in medical facilities should be immune to measles. If no previous documentation of immunity is provided, OHS will order a titer to check immunity.
b. Personnel will be considered immune if they have the following evidence of immunity:
i. Have serologic evidence of immunity
ii. History of previous measles disease (documentation may be required if born after 1957)
iii. Documentation of receipt of live measles vaccine (dosage dependent on age)
iv. Employees with 2 documented doses of MMR are not recommended to be serologically tested for immunity; but if they are tested and results are negative or equivocal, they should be considered to have presumptive evidence of immunity to measles, mumps and/or rubella. If no previous documentation of MMR - equivocal results should be considered negative.
v. For unvaccinated personnel born before 1957 who lack laboratory evidence of measles immunity or laboratory confirmation of disease, health-care facilities should consider vaccinating personnel with 2 doses of MMR vaccine at the appropriate interval (for measles and mumps).
c. Non-immune employees will be offered vaccination. Employees who consent to vaccination will complete a consent form. MMR vaccine is administered subcutaneous (SQ).
d. Vaccination will not be administered to personnel who are pregnant or expect to become pregnant within 3 months. Pregnancy testing is performed prior to administering any live vaccines.
e. Employees who do not have documented evidence of immunity will be instructed to report to Occupational Health if involved in an exposure event.
Measles. All Program Participants shall be immunized against measles unless they can demonstrate immunity against measles (rubeola). Immunity may be demonstrated by any of the following means: • Serologic evidence of immunity (written documentation required). For all Program Participants, serologies may be provided by the Program Participant at his/her expense. • Immunization with 2 doses of measles vaccine (MMR preferred) on or after first birthday, doses at least 4 weeks apart.

Measles. Patients with compromised immunity who have come into contact with measles should, wherever possible, receive normal immunoglobulin as soon as possible after exposure. Live vaccines: Live vaccines should not be given to individuals with impaired immune responsiveness. The antibody response to other vaccines may be diminished. In patients with severe liver function disorders, the elimination of glucocorticoids including Budenofalk® 2mg rectal foam will be reduced, and their systemic bioavailability will be increased. Corticosteroids may cause suppression of the HPA axis and reduce the stress response. Where patients are subject to surgery or other stresses, supplementary systemic glucocorticoid treatment is recommended. Concomitant treatment with ketoconazole or other CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided (see section 4.5).

Measles case event date type options: Due to the feasibility of recognizing and reporting suspected measles cases prior to lab confirmation, CDC recommends awardees select date of diagnosis – presumptive or date of specimen collection for this disease.
Measles. I will provide proof (month/day/year) that I have been vaccinated with TWO doses of live virus measles (rubeola) vaccine administered at least 28 days apart on or after my first birthday, or documentation of physician diagnosed measles, or serologic§ evidence of measles immunity. The requirement for a second dose does not apply to individuals who entered school, college or university for the first time before July 1, 1994. Individuals born before 1957 are not required to receive measles vaccine except in measles outbreak situations.
Measles. (is, are) a contagious childhood disease.
