As many of you have heard, there are pockets of measles popping up across the country. Measles is a highly contagious disease spread through aerosols from coughs and sneezes of those infected. The disease itself is horrible with high spiking fevers, viral conjunctivitis, and a deep cough that goes on for days. Complications include pneumonias, encephalitis, deafness and in the worst cases death. There is a way to prevent measles though, the MMR vaccine, that trains the immune system to recognize the virus and neutralize it before the infection takes hold. This vaccine is highly effective and safe. It is given in a two-dose series: one at 12 months and a booster at 4 or 5 years of age. Please make sure to stay up to date with well child checks and for those who are not sure if your child is up to date, please check your child’s portal or call the office. If you plan to travel to one of the areas affected by the outbreak or abroad, please check to make sure your child is up to date on their vaccines. For those who have missed appointments or have delayed vaccines for any reason, we encourage you to make an appointment now to catch up on your vaccines. We want to see your children grow and thrive and we want our community to stay safe and healthy.
