 MeaslesABOUT

As of February 23, 2023, we have surpassed 42 days, or two incubation periods, since the last rash onset, which fits the CDC’s definition of the end of an outbreak. While we are grateful this measles outbreak is behind us, we know we are just one missed vaccine away from the next one. We urge parents to ensure timely vaccination with the MMR vaccine – and all childhood vaccines – which are safe and effective at protecting children and our community from preventable diseases
