      Seems kinda wild to me that numbers are that low still, considering just how contagious measles is.

                  the HHS certainly will not be as it was before but the RFK damage will also be repaired once MAGA is gone as well.

                  the movement has done nothing but harm with no positive result save for making people hate the State and Capitalism even more (which is not a silver lineing worth the pain and suffering)

                    Glad I got my measles booster last year.

                    Doctors often give pregnant women a booster but any adult that was born before they started giving kids 2 shots of the measles vaccine is eligible for the modern vaccine regardless of how old you are. I forgot what year they started doing the 2 dose but it was sometime in the mid 1990’s I believe.

                    The theory is the older vaccine for measles that many got prior to that wasn’t so good. It also wears off over the years which is one reason they give pregnant women it (they usually test your bodies reaction first to see if you need it but its such a cheap and easy vaccine that many doctors will just give you a booster instead.)

                        For anyone in the US who needed to know:

                        • If you were born before 1957, you are presumed immune because measles was so prevalent.

                        • If you were vaccinated before 1967, you should definitely get a booster (the original vaccine wasn’t as strong as the later vaccine).

                        • If you were vaccinated between 1967 and 1989, you should consider a booster: they believed you only needed one shot, but you actually needed two.

                        • If you were vaccinated after 1989, you are considered fully vaccinated.

                            You can get tested. I did and my titers were too low, so I got a new MMR vaccine.

                            i had my tdap last year. flu and covid was done this year. people have to get TDAP EVERY 10 years.

                            chickenpox is a little different though, not 100% protection, it does protect against symptoms of chickenpox but does not prevent infection(people still got shingles later in life.

                            older people and children can get the new rsv vaccine.

                              Are you joking? It’s RFK and trump. They are proud of the damage and death they caused. Even in the face of massive midterm losses they are just doubling down.

                                          What is global news?

                                          Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


                                          Post guidelines

                                          Title format

                                          Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

                                          URL format

                                          Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

                                          [Opinion] prefix

                                          Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

                                          Country prefix

                                          Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.


                                          Rules

                                          This community is moderated in accordance with the principles outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasizes the right to freedom of opinion and expression. In addition to this foundational principle, we have some additional rules to ensure a respectful and constructive environment for all users.

                                          1. English only

                                          Title and associated content has to be in English.

                                          2. No social media posts

                                          Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

                                          3. Respectful communication

                                          All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

                                          4. Inclusivity

                                          Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.

                                          5. Ad hominem attacks

                                          Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.

                                          6. Off-topic tangents

                                          Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

                                          7. Instance rules may apply

                                          If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.
