VACCINE IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF PROTECTION, BUT RATES ARE FALLING
According to experts, the most effective way to protect against measles is the MMR vaccine. The vaccine is considered 97 percent effective in preventing measles. The first dose is usually given at 12-15 months of age, and the second dose is given before kindergarten or primary school.
Los Angeles County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis points out that vaccination is not only an individual but also a social responsibility. Davis, “Babies who are too young to be vaccinated are protected thanks to herd immunity. Vaccination protects not only yourself, but also your family, neighbors and the most vulnerable groups.” is in the statement.
