#Quick notes for your health

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world!

Measles is so contagious that if a person has it, up to 90% of the unvaccinated people nearby will be infected.

Some people think of measles as just a little rash and fever that clear up in a few days. But measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years old.

Measles vaccines are SAFE and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles. If you or your children need an MMR vaccine, please contact your home PHC clinic to schedule an appointment.

Calling for an appointment?

Ask if your visit can be completed using telehealth. You will be able to talk to your healthcare provider face to face, via your phone or tablet. Some visits are best in person but many can be done using telehealth.
