Measles is preventable with MMR vaccine
Measles cases are increasing in California, the United States, and worldwide. Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world and can lead to severe consequences, especially for children. The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is the best way to prevent measles. It is safe and provides long-lasting protection. Check if you and your family are up to date on all your routine vaccines, including the MMR. Staying up to date also protects those too young to be vaccinated.Learn more about measles from CDPHGet an appointment at AITC Immunization & Travel Clinic
