MEASLES UPDATE!

Information available in English, Spanish and Creole!

Due to the recent increase in measles cases, the Florida Department of Health is emphasizing the importance of identifying suspected cases quickly and taking steps to minimize further transmission. Please review the current guidance on this highly infectious disease.

FDOH will be providing MMR Immunizations at no cost to all residents during this time.
Measles is spread through the air by breathing, coughing, or sneezing. It can be transmitted four days before the rash becomes visible to four days after the rash appears. The symptoms of measles generally begin approximately 8-14 days after exposure to someone with measles, with a range of 7-21 days.
Symptoms include:
• Fever
• Cough
• Coryza (Runny nose)
• Conjunctivitis (Red, watery eyes)
• Malaise
Typically followed in 3-5 days by:
•Generalized descending maculopapular rash
• Tiny white spots with bluish-white centers found inside the mouth (Koplik's spots)

Providers should consider measles when a patient presents with a generalized, maculopapular rash lasting longer than 3 days, a temperature greater than 101.0°F (38.3°C), and cough, coryza, and/or conjunctivitis. Expedite patients to a private room to minimize exposure.

Contact your county health department immediately (24/7) upon suspicion of measles, as they can provide additional support and guidance. Individuals should not abruptly visit a health care provider without contacting them ahead of time.

It all started back in 2008 with just a handful of passionate people and a simple idea: to make a difference.

From a small, borrowed space, we planted a seed of hope,
driven by the belief that even the smallest actions could create massive change.

Over the years, with your incredible support, that small seed grew.

We celebrated milestones, from helping our first hundred families to launching community-wide programs that have touched thousands of lives.

Each step, each success story, was a testament to what we can achieve together.

Today, look at us.
We're a thriving community of staff, volunteers, and supporters, working hand-in-hand to build a better future.
The impact is real, and it’s all thanks to you.

But our work isn't done. Join us for the next chapter.

Visit our website to see how you can get involved, donate, or simply share our story. Let's continue building this legacy of hope together.
Links in bio for more information or perhaps you want to support our work!
Thank you.
