I don not live in the UK and therefore do not access to anybody with up to date information re measles. I understand that there has been an outbreak recently. My 2 eldest children have had their single MMR - the baby is too young. Should the older ones have a booster - if so what at what age. I am very grateful for any advice. Thank you.

If you don't live in the UK, what does it matter? Is there an outbreak in your country?

Boosters are offered between the ages of 3-5, FWIW. In the US, a booster is offered at secondary school age as well.

Because we are due to return soon to the UK, and we, personally, follow the UK vaccination system!

Thank you - but I did find your response to be quite harsh.

WTF? Well, you know, Utopia, I don't really care. I don't come on here for a popularity contest or worry about over-sensitive people who have nothing better to do that get bent out of shape over one sentence a total stranger online types.

It's info you could easily find out on Google, too, you know.
