Measles Prevention

The Georgia Department of Public Health has confirmed a measles case in our area. Here’s what you need to know:
• Symptoms: Fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash.
• Prevention: The MMR vaccine is the best protection. Make sure your child is up to date!

If your child recently received their first MMR vaccine, they may be able to get their second dose sooner than usual — as soon as 4 weeks after the first. If you’re interested or have questions, feel free to ask your provider at your next visit or give our office a call.
