联邦层面仍建议在12个月大时开始接种麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹(MMR)两剂疫苗,第二剂在4至6岁时接种。

根据州卫生官员的数据,南卡罗来纳州周五报告了950例麻疹病例,其中包括自周二以来新增的17例感染。该州尚未报告死亡病例。

在这些感染者中,绝大多数883人未接种疫苗,19人仅接种了一剂建议的两剂麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗。

“我认为本届政府的每个人都很清楚,预防麻疹的最佳方法是让你的孩子接种麻疹疫苗,”马卡里补充道。

Feb 13 (Reuters) – U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary, in an interview on Friday, urged Americans to get vaccinated for measles, as the country faces its largest measles surge in more than three decades.

“When we hear about cases of measles in an outbreak in South Carolina, that should serve as a good reminder for parents to make sure that their kids are vaccinated,” Makary said during an appearance on MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports”.

The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) two-shot protocol remains recommended at the federal level starting at 12 months of age, with a second at 4 to 6 years of age.

South Carolina reported 950 measles cases on Friday, including 17 new infections since Tuesday, according to state health officials. No deaths have been reported by the state.

Among those infected, a significant majority of 883 individuals were unvaccinated, and 19 were partially vaccinated with one of the recommended two-dose measles-mumps-rubella vaccines.

“I think everyone in this administration has been pretty clear that the best way to prevent measles is to get your kid vaccinated against measles,” Makary added.

Earlier this week, National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya also expressed his support for Americans getting vaccinated against measles.

“The answer is yes,” Bhattacharya said about the vaccines when asked by Reuters about recent outbreaks.

On Sunday, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz also urged Americans to take the measles vaccine in an interview with CNN. “Take the vaccine, please,” he said.
