* Think you’re safe from a measles outbreak because you were vaccinated as a kid? Think again – if you’re over the age of 45 you might need to get vaccinated again.
* Doctors say older measles vaccines weren’t as effective as modern ones. They recommend that anyone born between 1957 and the early 1970’s get re-vaccinated if traveling overseas, or to a part of the U.S. that has seen a recent measles outbreak – including New York, Texas, Washington, and Illinois.
* More information on recent outbreaks can be found at the CDC’s websit cdc.gov.
