Doctors urge earlier MMR vaccine amid measles outbreak
Physicians are recommending that children receive the MMR vaccine earlier than routinely scheduled as a measles outbreak spreads. The call reflects concern that the first dose, normally given at 12 to 15 months, may be delayed in affected areas. Doctors stress that early vaccination offers protection for infants and helps curb further spread of the highly contagious virus.
Why now: An active measles outbreak is prompting health advice on accelerating childhood vaccination.
