Can you still contract measles if you have had the MMR vaccine?
The measles virus resides in the mucus in the nose and throat of the infected person. When that person sneezes or coughs, droplets spray into the air. The infected mucus can land in other people's noses or throats through breathing or putting their fingers in their mouth or nose after touching an infected surface. The virus remains active and contagious on infected surfaces for up to two hours. Measles transmission occurs so easily that anyone who is not immunized will probably get it eventually. Proof of immunity of measles is either via a blood test or by 2 x MMR vaccinations. Universal infection control procedures should be followed (ie thorough hand washing) and this should prevent the transmission of the virus to vulnerable people. If unsure about your immunity status, contact your GP for information.
