Take Note: How to Know If You Have Completed the Measles Vaccination Schedule

TL;DR

Verify your measles vaccination status to ensure collective protection.
Check your physical vaccination card for doses administered since early childhood.
In Colombia, the measles vaccine is part of the triple viral (SRP) vaccine, also covering rubella and mumps.
The regular schedule includes the first dose at one year old and the second at 18 months.
A 'zero dose' is available for infants aged 6-11 months traveling to areas with active virus circulation.
If the physical card is unavailable, check vaccination history through the official Paiweb system.
Visit your EPS or IPS to verify records in Paiweb and obtain a digital certificate.
A serological IgG antibody test can determine immunity if physical or digital records are missing.
If no documentation or immunity is confirmed, it is advisable to get vaccinated again.
Groups requiring rigorous verification include international travelers, healthcare workers, tourism and transport personnel, and children/adolescents with incomplete records.
