Best Answer

In childhood, if not vaccinated, you can get the measles one time.

A few years ago, it was advised that children who were vaccinated many decades ago get a booster in teenage years.


For all people who have ever been exposed to or developed measles, people after age 50 can have Shingles. The virus that causes measles lies dormant in the body, when it can erupt again in late life. Shingles is a very painful outbreak, usually above nerves. It is often found around the waist, sides, and can affect the face and eyes.

It usually comes once in a lifetime. Second cases are believed to be very rare. I don't believe you can get it more than two times.

You cannot get measles more than once. After you've had the virus, you are immune for life.
