Many people have heard about a recent major outbreak of measles occurring mostly in the southwest United States and traced to Disneyland. A vast majority of those people infected had not received the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. This out break is a good reminder that the best way to prevent this potentially fatal disease (about 1 to 3 per 1000 cases) is to receive the vaccination. If your child is old enough to get vaccinated and you had declined the vaccine but would like him or her vaccinated, please call our office to schedule that immunization.
