I live in one of the areas with a measles outbreak.

My youngest is 1.5yo and bh preganant with the next.

My 1.5yo recieved the first dose of mmr... the pediatrician said he recommends giving the 1.5 year old the 2nd does (obviously after the 28days from the first one.. which it has already passed for a while), as to completely immune the 1.5 yo with mmr so theres no chance in chas vshalom being a problem with the new baby in the house.

All my older children have already recieved 2 doses of mmr.

Does anyone (talking to pro-vaxxers only) see a reason why not give the 1.5yo the second dose?

Is your child in daycare/playgroup? If not I wouldn't.
If your entire family is vaccinated fully then I'd hold off on a 1.5 year old.
If you do choose to, I'd suggest giving your child immune booster vitamins and homeopathic thuja for 3 days prior and 3 days after.

I gave my 5 yo the booster although I wasn't planing on for at least a year. My 3 yo I didn't. I only started vaccinated her, one vaccine at a time, a few weeks before she started school.
I'm pregnant now, and I'm planing to give it to her in half a year if before baby is born if the outbreak is still going strong. If not, I'll hold off till 6.

How likely is she to be directly exposed? Even with only the first dose, she has a high level of protection. If she has a high risk of direct exposure, I’d get the second dose.
