I keep thinking of this over and over. No words are enough. Abed just loves football, adores Pep and Jose and wants to just write about the Prem, he has so many dreams, and yet this genocidal horror is his reality. As it is for everyone in Occupied Palestine. Zionism cannot be allowed to exist.

I feel very heartbroken because I thought I had stopped writing about killings and bombings and would do football reporting as I always loved.

Our dreams are not worthy. They're simply not. Our dream has become just to live. Only to live.

Could I Still Get Measles If I Am Fully Vaccinated?

Very few people -about three out of 100- who get two doses of measles vaccine will still get measles if exposed to the virus. Experts aren't sure why. It could be that their immune systems didn't respond as well as they should have to the vaccine. But the good news is, fully vaccinated people who get measles seem more likely to have a milder illness. And fully vaccinated people seem also less likely to spread the disease to other people, including people who can't get vaccinated because they are too young or have weakened immune systems.

Do People Who Got The Killed Measles Vaccine In The 1960’s Need To Be Revaccinated With The Current Measles Vaccine?

Yes, people who know they got the killed measles vaccine (an earlier formulation of measles vaccine that is no longer used) should talk to their healthcare provider about getting revaccinated with the current, live measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Not many people fall into this group; the killed vaccine was given to less than 1 million people between 1963 and 1967. Also, most people don't know if they got the killed vaccine during this time. If you're unsure whether you fall into this group, you should first try to find your vaccination records or documentation of measles immunity. If you do not have written documentation of measles immunity, you should get vaccinated with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
There is no harm in getting another dose of MMR vaccine if you may already be immune to measles (or mumps or rubella).

I Am An Adult Now But Only Got One Dose of Measles Vaccine As A Child. Do I Need A Second Dose?

If you were born after 1957 one dose of measles vaccine is sufficient to be considered protected from measles. Certain adults may need 2 doses. Adults who are going to be in a setting that poses a high risk for measles transmission should make sure they have had two doses separated by at least 28 days.
These adults include:
• Students at post-high school education institutions
• Healthcare personnel
• International travelers
• People who public health authorities determine are at increased risk for getting measles during a measles outbreak
If you're not sure whether you are up to date on measles vaccine, talk with your healthcare provider.

Do Adults Need Booster Shots?

If you were vaccinated with the first version of the measles vaccine- a killed-virus vaccine used between 1963 and 1968- or don't know which type of vaccine you received, the CDC recommends getting AT LEAST one dose of MMR.
Experts say that those who received two doses of the current MMR vaccine will probably have measles immunity for their entire life. Less than 1% of people who are fully vaccinated will have waning immunity to measles to the point where they are susceptible to infection. As we age, all types of immunity have the potential to wane, but fully vaccinated folks are generally considered protected from infection for their lifetime.
!! BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T GO GET A REFRESHER/BOOSTER. Which may be something to consider due to the current situation.
During mumps outbreaks, it is possible that local authorities may recommend additional MMR doses for those who are at risk of heavy exposure, according to the CDC.

Should You Check Your Immunity?

Titer tests at a primary-care office can be used to check for immunity against measles. Some doctors say that this is not necessary, though, if you have gotten both recommended doses of the MMR vaccine or have had the measles itself.
!! NOTE. AGAIN, that does not mean you shouldn't get one especially due to the current situation.
Titer tests can detect the presence of antibodies-infection fighting proteins produced by immune cells in response to a specific foreign pathogen- at high concentrations. When you have an infection or you get vaccinated, your immune cells learn how to produce antibodies against the virus and can stay in your system for years, helping fight repeat or future infections.
In the case of measles, a virus with a longer incubation period, the body has longer to prepare to fight the infection, including more time to produce antibodies.
So even if the titer tests don't show high levels of antibodies, your immune memory cells may still be able to respond to the virus quickly
The commercial laboratory tests or titer tests are most useful for people who don't know their vaccination status.
This happens particularly if one doesn't have access to their own vaccination records, which is so often the case because people move, pediatric practices go - the pediatrician passes away or retires and you can't contact the office anymore.

Doctors may also want to test people who have weakened immune systems to see how much immunity they have to measles. In this case, immunosuppressed patients may not be eligible for the vaccine, which uses live but weakened form of the virus, but they may want information about their immunity status and to discuss further with providers.

Do I Ever Need A Booster?

The CDC considers people who received TWO DOSES of measles vaccine as children according to the U.S. vaccination schedule protected for life, and they do not need a booster dose.
!! NOTE. BUT this DOES NOT mean that you cannot get one, especially with the current situation.
If you're not sure whether you are fully vaccinated, talk with your healthcare provider.

Am I Protected Against Measles?

The CDC considers you protected from measles if you have written documentation (records) showing at least one of the following:
• You received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, and you are:
- A school-aged child (grades K-12)
- An adult who will be in a setting that poses a high risk for measles transmission (including students at post-high school education institutions, healthcare personnel, and international travelers)
• You received one dose of measles-containing vaccine, and you are:
- A preschool-aged child
- An adult who will not be in a high-risk setting for measles transmission
• A laboratory confirmed that you had measles at some point in your life.
• A laboratory confirmed that you are immune to measles.
• You were born before 1957.

• For international travelers, CDC considers you protected from measles if you have written documentation (records) showing at least one of the following:
- You received one dose of measles-containing vaccine, and you are an infant aged 6-11 months.
- You received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, and you are a person 12 months or older.
- A laboratory confirmed that you had measles at some point in your life.
- A laboratory confirmed that you are immune to measles.
- You were born before 1957.

How Does The Measles Vaccine Work?

When you get measles vaccine, your immune system makes protective virus-fighting antibodies against the weakened vaccine virus. Measles vaccine protects you from wild-type measles because if you have been vaccinated and then are exposed to someone with measles, your body remembers how to fight off the wild-type virus. That's because the vaccine trained your immune system.

How Long Does It Take For The Measles Vaccine To Work In Your Body?

For the measles vaccine to work, the body needs time to produce protective antibodies in response to the vaccine. Detectable antibodies generally appear within just a few days after vaccination. People are usually fully protected after about 2 or 3 weeks.

If you're traveling internationally, make sure to get up to date on all your measles shots. You should plan to be fully vaccinated at least 2 weeks before you depart. If your trip is less than 2 weeks away and you're not protected against measles, you should still get a dose of measles vaccine.
