As you get ready for travel, make sure you and your loved ones are protected against measles before departure, no matter where you are going. The best way to protect against measles is with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. If you are not sure if you (or your child) need the MMR, ask your doctor!

You’ve probably heard of West Nile Virus or Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and thought:

“…am I supposed to know what that is?” 🤔

Totally fair.

Here’s the simple version:
They’re viruses you can get from mosquito bites. 🦟

Most mosquito bites are harmless, but some mosquitoes can carry viruses that make people sick. In Connecticut, this happens every year—which is why it is monitored all season long.
