There's nothing that says that this community can't get vaccinated. But unfortunately, anti-vax advocates have descended upon this community and have been spreading misinformation about how this vaccine is dangerous or that measles is okay for your child to get. And it will create natural immunity against other diseases. and is unfortunately putting many people at risk.

The vaccine is incredibly safe and effective. There's two doses that are recommended. One dose is 93% effective. Two doses are 97% effective. And even if you do happen to get a breakthrough case, it is very, very mild. Measles is not a benign virus, and it can cause really severe complications.

Sure. So one in five people who get measles will be hospitalized. About one in 10 children can develop ear infections, which can lead to permanent hearing loss. One in 20 children will develop pneumonia, which is the leading cause of death in children who get measles.

And about one in 1,000 kids will develop encephalitis, which is swelling of the brain, which is, of course, very, very severe and could unfortunately... to severe neurological complications and unfortunately even death.

Yeah, there have been several doctors across the state and in particularly western Texas who have been getting the word out, trying to remind parents about the dangers of measles, why it is such a dangerous disease, the benefits of vaccination.

And they have been hosting vaccine clinics, giving people the opportunity to either get their child vaccinated for the first time, have them catch up on doses that they they missed or even adults who never got vaccinated themselves to get that vaccine. And even Texas health officials and the CDC has also recommended this as well to try to get this outbreak under control.

They are recommending a third early dose of the vaccine. So for kids between ages six months to 11 months to get a vaccine dose and then to get two regularly scheduled doses, the one that you would get at about a year old and then the one that you would get from ages four to six.

And that way it gives really, really young kids who have, of course, very sensitive immune systems a bit of a boost to protect them until they can get their regularly scheduled doses.
