Recent outbreaks of measles have sickened more than 220 people in 12 states, mostly children. While some may think of measles as a minor viral infection that causes a runny nose, fever, and itchy rash, serious complications can occur, including pneumonia, poor pregnancy outcomes, and more. Complications are most common among young children, pregnant women, and people with an impaired immune system.
Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective in preventing measles.
