Measles outbreak highlights the importance of adult immunization LA-Times
http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-measles-adults-20150212-story.html#page=1“It's not just young children that need to be up-to-date on their vaccines, and we are starting to see more adults get measles and spread it.”
"There are many adults who only got one dose of the vaccine before the federal government began recommending two doses in 1989."
"Many people aren't aware that they might need a second dose of the measles vaccine."
"There are no state laws requiring vaccines as a condition of employment in California, but some jurisdictions elsewhere have them."
My State (Washington) is proposing tighter rules on vaccinations for school children, but there is no requirement for teachers to be vaccinated.
