Why it is Important to Get Vaccinated for Measles

HomeHealth Education

Since measles is still common in many countries, unvaccinated travelers bring measles to the U.S. and it can spread. But you can protect yourself, your family, and your community with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, especially before traveling internationally. Ask your doctor if everyone in your family has received all recommended doses of MMR and other vaccines for best protection.
