measles prevention

America became the first country in the world to get measles after decades of anti-epidemic efforts, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Children 9 months and older need measles vaccination. Breastfeeding women should be vaccinated to avoid having measles. Adults can also get measles.

Scientists have successfully tested a new drug on the infected virus, Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) - a virus similar to measles virus.

Have you been vaccinated against measles, and you will not get measles anymore - or will you not infect measles anymore? This is not always true.
