This week, the CDC made changes to its measles vaccination guidance for travelers. The agency says any American with plans to travel abroad should speak with their doctor at least six weeks before their trip if they aren’t sure whether they’re up to date on their vaccines. The change comes as we see more upticks in measles cases across the country. We asked vaccine questions to our infectious disease expert, Dr. Fred Browne, including the need for a booster and whether traveling is a deal breaker for getting the shot.
