This is just for informational purposes, as we have no confirmed cases in Augusta. Please review this flyer from the CDC and check that your child is up to date on all recommended vaccinations, including the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR).

Vaccination remains the most reliable and effective tool for preventing measles. Two doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine provide 97% protection against measles, and one dose provides 93% protection.
