Pertussis (Whooping Cough) in Oklahoma
Oklahoma Measles Case Summary
*The unvaccinated/unknown category includes people with no documented doses of measles vaccine more than 14 days before exposure. It takes the body about 14 days after vaccination to develop immunity to measles, so people aren’t considered vaccinated until that 14-day period has passed. To be protective, this immunity must be developed before the exposure to be considered vaccinated at the time of infection. When the exposure date isn’t known, the vaccine must be given at least 35 days before symptom onset to account for the 21-day incubation and 14-day period required to develop immunity post-vaccine.
