In this May 9, 2019, file photo, the MMR virus vaccine is shown at Logan Square Health Center in Chicago.in central Ohio has ballooned to 63 cases as of Thursday. Twenty-five children have been hospitalized.

"Measles can present an issue like a cold, like a mild RSV, or mild flu. And it’s not until that rash appears that most providers and parents say, oh, this is different," she said. "By that point, the case has already exposed other individuals, whether it’s at day care, at home, at church." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all children get two doses of the MMR vaccine — the first when they’re 12 to 15 months old and the second when they’re 4 to 6 years old. One dose is 93% effective against measles and two doses are 97% effective.The vaccine’s effectiveness helped the United States officially eliminate measles in 2020, a designation that means the virus is no longer continuously circulating in the country.
