Recommendations for Domestic Travelers to Outbreak Areas and International Travelers

Talk to your doctor about the MMR vaccine, especially if you or your child plan to travel to an area with an ongoing
outbreak or internationally. Two doses of MMR vaccine provide better protection (97%) against measles than one dose
(93%).
Check your destination and CDC’s Global Measles Travel Health Notice for more travel health advice if you plan to
travel internationally, including countries measles outbreaks have been reported.
After domestic travel to an area with an ongoing outbreak or international travel, watch for signs and symptoms of
measles for 3 weeks after returning to the United States. If you or your child gets sick with a rash and a high fever, call
your healthcare provider. Tell them you traveled to an area where they identified measles or another country and
whether you or your child had received MMR vaccine.
