Most of the time you do need a period after an abbreviation! Answer It is usual in American English to use a full stop after ALL abbreviations, however, outside the US this is not the case. For instance, Mr and Mrs never take a full stop in British English usage, and often etc doesn't either despite the fact that the "rule" is that when the abbreviation ends in a letter of the original word (as in Mister-Mr) there is ordinarily a full stop (since etc is short for et cetera and the last letter is an "a" not a "c").
