💙 Health Tip of the Week 💉

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world, but it's also one of the most preventable. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community.

Even though measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, cases have been increasing in recent years. Staying up to date on your MMR vaccine helps prevent the spread and protects those who are too young or unable to be vaccinated.

Talk to your healthcare provider if you have questions about your vaccination status or whether you're due for an MMR vaccine.
