Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪
Infographic on Measles in Red, light blue and yellow. It contains the timeline for measles, facts and the R0 that each person can infect 12 to 18 people in an unvaccinated population. Be Wise, Immunize with the MMR vaccine. Getting the vaccine is much safer than getting the disease.
