You can typically get vaccinated against measles immediately by scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider or visiting a vaccination clinic.

Estimated Duration: 1 days

The measles vaccine is widely available and can be administered quickly once you schedule an appointment with a doctor, pharmacy, or public health clinic. The process involves a brief consultation to ensure eligibility, followed by the vaccination itself, which takes only minutes. Some locations may offer walk-in services, allowing you to get vaccinated the same day. The vaccine is usually given as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) combination, providing immunity within about 2 weeks after the first dose. For full protection, a second dose is recommended, typically 28 days later.
