Measles Vaccination – Protection Made Simple at Springlife Medical

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can lead to serious complications—especially in adults who may not be fully immunized. At Springlife Medical, we make it easy to check your immunity and receive the measles vaccine if you need it, all in the comfort of our office.

Why Adults Should Consider the Measles Vaccine

While many people receive the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine in childhood, some adults may not have had both recommended doses—or any at all. Immunity can also decline over time. Adults born before 1957 are generally considered immune, but for everyone else, it’s worth confirming your vaccination status.

The measles virus spreads quickly and easily through coughing and sneezing. Even brief exposure can be enough to contract the illness if you’re not protected. While measles is often associated with childhood illness, adults who contract it tend to experience more severe symptoms and face a higher risk of complications like pneumonia, brain swelling, or hospitalization.

How We Make It Easy

At Springlife Medical, we offer a streamlined approach to getting vaccinated. If you’re unsure about your measles immunity, we can order a simple blood test (a measles antibody titer) to check. Based on your results, we’ll help you determine if a vaccine is necessary.

The measles vaccine is safe, well-tolerated, and highly effective. For adults who need protection, it’s typically given as part of the MMR vaccine in one or two doses, depending on individual health history.

You don’t need to go to a pharmacy or search for a vaccine clinic—our team can handle it all right here during a routine visit.

Your Health, Our Priority

Vaccination isn’t just about protecting yourself—it’s about protecting the people around you, especially those who are immunocompromised or unable to be vaccinated themselves.

We believe preventive care should be accessible and stress-free. If you’re uncertain about your measles vaccination status, let’s talk about it at your next visit.
