Measles cases are rising across the U.S., including in New York, with most infections occurring in unvaccinated individuals. Measles spreads easily and can lead to severe complications like pneumonia and hospitalization.
The best protection? Vaccination. The MMR vaccine is highly effective, and the CDC recommends two doses for children. Adults unsure of their status should check with their doctor.
