There have been recent cases of measles in the community, so it’s a good time to stay aware and take simple precautions. Measles spreads very easily, but vaccination offers strong protection.

👉 Keep an eye out for symptoms like fever, rash, cough, and red eyes
👉 If you suspect that you may be unwell with these symptoms, please call ahead so that we can take additional precautions for your appointment

Let’s help keep everyone safe and healthy 💛
