We are sharing some information this morning from the Virginia Department of Health about a second case of measles in the state of Virginia. We are doing our best this morning to answer all of our patients' calls about a measles case in Charlottesville. Pediatric Associates patients can check their child's immunization status on the patient portal. Adequate vaccination for the measles is two shots of MMR at least one month apart. Nearly all four and five-year-olds in our practice are appropriately immunized unless the parents chose not to do so. If you were exposed at any of the places listed on the link, please call the Blue Ridge Health Department. https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/blue-ridge/
If you would like to speak with our practice about scheduling an early vaccine appointment, please send us a message on the portal.
