How measles vaccines protect you from other diseases

I’ve talked about measles before (see highlight). Measles doesn’t just cause a rash. It erases part of your immune memory, leaving you more vulnerable to other infections even after you recover. It can also lead to SSPE, a rare but 100% fatal brain disease, especially in infants. It’s important that these complications aren’t ignored by RFK and others in leadership. Both things can be true — improved nutrition and sanitation matter, and vaccines are essential and lifesaving. 💕 Let’s stop lettin

Measles, also called rubeola, is caused by a virus that spreads easily through the air and settles on surfaces. Symptoms, which show up about one to two weeks after getting infected, include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a telltale rash that starts on the face and neck, then spreads to the rest of the body. Most people recover from measles, but sometimes it can cause serious complications and can even be fatal. Learn more about measles from a Mayo Clinic expert: https://mayocl.in/4g

As measles cases increase, experts warn against vaccine skepticism

Measles is a very contagious disease. The virus can survive for up to 2 hours on surfaces or in the air. That’s why it spreads so quickly. You can protect your family and your whole community from a measles outbreak by getting the MMR vaccine. Two doses are 97% effective in preventing measles. | American Academy of Pediatrics
