Measles is highly contagious and can lead to life-threatening complications.

Vaccines are part of prevention: they reduce infections and complications before treatment is needed.
Good for people. Good for communities.

Looking at the #evidence

#Vaccination is not only an act of self-protection but also one of #solidarity

Without widespread vaccination, many diseases that are now rare thanks to #vaccines, could return

An unvaccinated child has died in the Texas measles outbreak A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

🕯️ Nothing saddens a pediatrician more than the unnecessary loss of a young life to an entirely preventable illness.

Don’t wait, vaccinate!
