We don’t want to be embarrassed, but if you haven’t heard it yet, you should know that in the last few months, measles that cause heat, cough, runny nose, and red rashes around the Tri -State area (heat, cough, runny nose and red rash are reported.
Good news: This disease can be completely prevented by the vaccine.
If you haven’t got yours yet, you can consult with the interactive NYC Healthmap.This interactive NYC Healthmap shows a position to obtain measles, epidemic, and rubella vaccines (MMR). This tool also features a vaccination site for other viruses, so you will need to keep it conveniently.
You can filter the results with services, locations, age and payment methods. In addition to the map itself, the site outputs the results list according to the setting preferences. You can find the interactive tool correctly here.
According to NYC Health, keep in mind that “people who receive two measles vaccines with two doses will be considered as immunity and will not get measles.”
Technically, children must bring their first MMR vaccine in 12 months and have a second dose between 4 and 6 years before entering school.
Be safe, New Yorker!
