Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads through respiratory droplets and can lead to severe complications, especially in young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms start with fever, cough, and red, watery eyes, followed by a distinctive rash. While there is no specific treatment, vaccination with the MMR vaccine is the most effective way to prevent infection. With recent outbreaks in the U.S., staying informed and up to date on immunizations is critical to protecting yourself and your community.
