Priority Health will follow guidance from MDHHS in covering an accelerated dose of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine for children 6-11 months old, through at least May 16, 2026. This coverage is in addition to the routine two-dose series and is in response to increased community transmission of measles. We’ll continue to cover the accelerated dose for as long as it’s recommended by MDHHS.
This additional coverage applies to commercial and Medicaid plans. CPT codes 90707 and 90710 can be billed for the accelerated dose.
From MDHHS
The MMR vaccine is routinely recommended at 12 to 15 months of age with a second dose given a minimum of 28 days after the first dose.
New recommendation as of April 2026: Given the possibility of ongoing community transmission, MDHHS is also recommending that infants ages 6 to 11 months receive an accelerated first dose of measles vaccine if they are in the following groups:
- Residents of Washtenaw, Monroe, Wayne, Oakland, Jackson, Livingston or Lenawee counties.
- Individuals who travel to Washtenaw and Monroe counties.
This recommendation is currently in effect until May 16, which is two incubation periods after the infectious period of the last identified measles case.
Infants ages 6 to 11 months of age who receive an accelerated first dose will require two additional doses of the MMR vaccine after 12 months of age to complete the series.

Any updates to this recommendation will be posted on the MDHHS measles webpage.
