With more people getting sick across the United States, it is important to remember that vaccination is our most powerful tool against measles. Parents can take proactive measures now to protect their children from future outbreaks by talking to their child’s healthcare provider to make sure they are up to date with their vaccines.

Children can receive the first dose of MMR vaccine soon after their first birthday (12 to 15 months of age). The second dose is recommended before the start of kindergarten.

Las personas que no han recibido la vacuna contra el sarampión o cuyas vacunas no están al día son las más propensas a contraerlo. Vacunarse con la triple vírica (MMR) es la mejor manera de prevenir el contagio y la propagación del sarampión.

Los profesionales de la salud colaboran con las familias para garantizar su salud. Los padres deben consultar con el médico de su hijo para hablar sobre qué vacunas son adecuadas para ellos.
