Measles vaccines are available at our Atlantic, Chincoteague Island, Eastville and Onley centers and are given according to CDC guidelines.
A very small number of adults (5 people out of every 100) who were vaccinated for measles from 1963-1967 received the killed (inactivated) vaccine during childhood. The CDC recommends that people get 1 or 2 doses of the measles vaccine if they were vaccinated before 1968 with an unknown type, an inactivated measles vaccine (used from 1963 to 1967), or a weaker live vaccine given with immune globulin (used from 1963 to 1967), because those older vaccines may not protect well.

Patients with COVID symptoms should call for an appointment. Testing will be ordered by the medical provider based on their evaluation. CLICK HERE for symptoms.
