What You Actually Need to Know About Measles and the MMR Vaccine

_{//health-fitness.news-articles.net/content/2025/ .. d-to-know-about-measles-and-the-mmr-vaccine.html}
^{Published in Health and Fitness on Thursday, March 13th 2025 at 10:23 GMT by Lifehacker}

While public health authorities in Texas and elsewhere are doing their best to contain the latest outbreaks, RFK Jr. is going on Fox News talking up the benefits (?!?) of measles infection and making the vaccine sound as bad as the disease.

The article from MSN discusses the resurgence of measles, a highly contagious disease, and emphasizes the importance of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. Measles can lead to severe complications like pneumonia, brain damage, and death, particularly in young children. Despite being declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 due to widespread vaccination, measles has seen a comeback due to vaccine hesitancy fueled by misinformation. The MMR vaccine is highlighted as safe and effective, with two doses recommended for full protection: the first at 12-15 months and the second at 4-6 years. The article debunks myths about the vaccine, including the discredited claim linking it to autism, and stresses the need for high vaccination rates to achieve herd immunity, which is crucial for protecting those who cannot be vaccinated. It also notes that measles outbreaks often start with unvaccinated travelers bringing the virus back from countries where measles is still common.
