More Than 4 in 10 Adults Not Up to Date on Measles Vaccine

Summary: Did you know that almost half of adults are behind on their measles vaccine? A recent study found that 44% of adults aren't up to date on their MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) shots, and 25% haven't even heard of the vaccine! Men, minorities, and people without a regular doctor are the most likely to miss out.

The good news? Over a third of those who need the vaccine say they would gladly get it while visiting the emergency room. Doctors think the ER could be a great place to help people catch up on important shots and stay healthy.
