In light of the measles outbreak and its spread to Tennessee, please take a minute to educate yourselves about how incredibly contagious and deadly measles is. The MMR vaccine is highly effective in preventing measles infection. If you have questions about whether your child is protected from measles, please contact your child's pediatrician. A child usually receives their first measles vaccine after 12 months of age and generally get their 2nd MMR vaccine after their 4th birthday.
If you or your child have been exposed to measles and are not fully vaccinated, call your healthcare provider immediately.
