🚨 Kentucky Measles Update: Is Your Child Protected? 🚨
Kentucky health officials have confirmed an ongoing outbreak of measles in Kentucky. As of August 17, 2026, confirmed cases have been reported in Christian, Todd, Trigg, and Washington Counties, including two individuals who have been hospitalized.
With measles circulating in our state, we encourage all of our Red Maple Pediatrics families to take a moment to check your child’s vaccination record and make sure their MMR vaccines are up to date. ❤️
The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is the best protection against measles and is safe and highly effective.
✅ Check your child’s immunization record
✅ Make sure they are up to date on MMR
✅ Not sure if your child needs a dose? We’re happy to help!
✅ If your child is due for a vaccine, reach out to our office to schedule an appointment.
If you’re unsure about your child’s MMR status, please don’t guess—give us a call. Our team can help you review their immunization record and determine whether they need a vaccine.
📍 Red Maple Pediatrics is here to help keep our families healthy and protected.
