Today, the CDC confirmed the U.S. has surpassed 5,000 cases of measles so far this year, the most since 1991, and up from 2,289 cases in all of last year. Only 2% of these cases had received 2 doses of the measles vaccine; 96% were unvaccinated or did not know their vaccination status. Measles is extremely contagious, but the measles vaccine (MMR vaccine) is highly effective at preventing outbreaks. Learn more and be sure your family is up to date on their vaccinations. https://www.healthychildren.org/english/health-issues/vaccine-preventable-diseases/Pages/Measles.aspx

Just like the annual flu shot, protection from COVID-19 vaccines fades over time. And just like the seasonal flu, the virus that causes COVID-19 changes over time. Getting an annual flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine provides new protection each year, and people who receive these shots each year continue to be less likely to become seriously ill or die from these illnesses than people who do not get vaccinated.

Call us at 919-560-7608 to schedule flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines for ages 6 months and older, or find other locations at VaccineFinder.org!

Airborne viruses are viruses that can spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes virus particles into the air and another person breathes them in, sometimes including after the sick person has left the area. This spread can even happen before an infected person knows they're sick, and even if they never develop symptoms. As the flu, COVID-19, measles, and other airborne viruses continue to spread, learn more about airborne virus transmission and how to protect yourself and others!

Pregnant and wondering if a flu shot is safe? It is. Getting vaccinated during pregnancy helps protect you from serious flu illness and provides protection for your newborn during their first months of life, before they're old enough to get a flu shot themselves.

The AAP strongly recommends flu vaccination during pregnancy to help protect both pregnant people and newborns who are too young to receive a flu shot. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/tips-tools/ask-the-pediatrician/Pages/safe-to-get-a-flu-shot-if-I-am-pregnant.aspx
