Measles, a highly contagious infectious disease caused by the measles virus, poses a significant threat to public health. As cases surge globally, including in countries with ready access to vaccines, understanding how to protect yourself and your family is crucial. Let’s delve into the essentials:

  1. Vaccination: The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is your strongest defense. Here’s what you need to know:

    • First Dose: One MMR vaccine provides approximately 93% protection against measles.
    • Booster Dose: A second booster dose, recommended since 1990, enhances the vaccine’s effectiveness to over 97%.
  2. Immediate Action:

    • Travelers: If you’re planning international travel, ensure you and your family are vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. Prevention begins before departure.
    • Exposure Alert: If you suspect exposure to measles, act promptly. Call your doctor immediately if you or your child have been in contact with an infected person.
  3. Understanding Measles:

    • Transmission: Measles spreads through direct contact with infectious droplets or airborne particles from an infected person.
    • Symptoms: Look out for fever, cough, runny nose, and a characteristic red rash that starts on the face and spreads.
    • Complications: Measles can lead to severe complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis.

Remember, measles is preventable. By getting vaccinated and staying informed, we contribute to a healthier community. Let’s shield ourselves against this preventable disease.
