Measles cases are increasing in Texas: It's time to pay attention to vaccinations.

Measles cases are increasing in the United States, especially in Texas. This is concerning because measles is very contagious and can be dangerous.

Measles is a virus that spreads easily through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. It causes a fever, runny nose, cough, and a red rash.

The best way to prevent measles is to get the MMR vaccine. This vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella.

The MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. Two doses of the vaccine are recommended for most people.

Measles outbreaks are more common in places with low vaccination rates. Getting vaccinated helps protect yourself and others from this serious disease.
