Measles is highly contagious, but vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect yourself, your family, and your community.

✅ The MMR vaccine helps protect against measles and prevent the spread of disease. With the complete vaccine series, it is 97% effective.
✅ Children should receive the recommended MMR vaccine. The first dose is given at 12 months of age, followed by a booster dose at 4 years old.
✅ Adults who were not vaccinated as children may also need protection. Please reach out to your local health department (LHD) or primary care provider (P*P) to determine if you need an additional dose.
✅ Staying up to date on vaccinations helps protect those who are most vulnerable.

To learn more about measles in Kentucky, find information on where to get vaccinated, and connect with your local health department, visit: https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/dehp/idb/Pages/measles.aspx
