MMR guidance:
Children 6-12 months of age, traveling to a high risk area or internationally: Yes, your child can receive their MMR vaccine. Those under age 1 year will still need 2 doses above age 1 year. Please send a request message through your FollowMyHealth® Account.
Children 6-12 months of age, NOT traveling: The first MMR dose is not recommended before 12 months of age unless the child is traveling to a high risk area or internationally. Northern Virginia is NOT considered high-risk at this time.
Children 1-4 years, traveling to a high risk area or internationally: Yes, your child can receive their 2nd MMR vaccine early. MMR must be given a minimum of 4 weeks from their last MMR. Please send a request through your FollowMyHealth® Account.
Children 1-4 years, NOT traveling to a high risk area or internationally: It is not necessary to get their MMR early, but we will make accommodations if needed. Please send a request through your FollowMyHealth® Account.
