🦠 Measles & MMR: Know the Facts!

Measles is highly contagious and can spread quickly from person to person.

πŸ’‰ The best protection? MMR vaccination.
The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella.

βœ… 2 doses provide about 97% protection against measles.
βœ… Vaccination helps protect you, your family, and your community.
βœ… If you're unsure of your vaccination history, talk with your healthcare provider or local public health department.

⚠️ Symptoms can include:fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash that typically begins on the face and spreads downward.

πŸ“ During a measles outbreak, knowing your vaccination status matters.
