🚨 Measles Cases Confirmed in LA County
Three measles cases were confirmed in Los Angeles County last week. Across the U.S., cases are rising. Most people who got sick were not fully vaccinated.

Measles spreads through the air. You can catch it just by being in the same room. Symptoms include fever, cough, and a rash. It can lead to serious problems.

Two MMR shots give 97 percent protection.
✅ Check your vaccine record
✅ Call your doctor if you’re not sure
✅ Stay home and call before visiting if you think you were exposed

Protect yourself. Protect your family. Protect LA County.
