Happy Spring Break, Vikings! As of March 13, 2025, a significant measles outbreak has affected over 250 people across multiple states, including Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. This resurgence is particularly concerning with the arrival of Spring Break, a time when travel and large gatherings increase the risk of disease spread. What You Need to Know: 🔴 Highly Contagious Virus: Measles spreads through respiratory droplets and can remain in the air for up to two hours. It poses a serious risk, especially to unvaccinated individuals, including young children and those with weakened immune systems. 💉 Vaccination Is Key: The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is 97% effective with two doses. Ensuring that you and your loved ones are up to date with vaccinations is the best protection against measles. ✈️ Spring Break Precautions: With increased travel and large events, the risk of exposure grows. If you plan to attend large gatherings or travel, check your vaccination status and practice good hygiene. Protect Your Community: ✔️ Check Vaccination Records: Make sure all family members, especially children, are vaccinated according to CDC guidelines. 📢 Stay Informed: Follow updates from local health departments and trusted sources for the latest information on the outbreak. 🏥 Consult Healthcare Providers: If you are unsure about your vaccination status or need to schedule a vaccine, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible. By staying vigilant and promoting vaccination, we can protect ourselves and our communities from this preventable disease. Let’s work together to stop the spread of measles. #MeaslesOutbreak #VaccinesWork #SpringBreakSafety ¡Felices vacaciones de primavera, Vikingos! A partir del 13 de marzo de 2025, un brote significativo de sarampión ha afectado a más de 250 personas en varios estados, incluidos Texas, Nuevo México y Oklahoma. Este resurgimiento es particularmente preocupante con la llegada de las vacaciones de primavera, un período en el que los viajes y las grandes reuniones aumentan el riesgo de propagación de enfermedades. Lo que necesitas saber: 🔴 Virus altamente contagioso: El sarampión se transmite a través de gotículas respiratorias y puede permanecer en el aire hasta por dos horas. Representa un riesgo grave, especialmente para las personas no vacunadas, incluidos los niños pequeños y aquellos con sistemas inmunológicos comprometidos. 💉 La vacunación es clave: La vacuna contra el sarampión, las paperas y la rubéola (MMR) tiene una eficacia del 97 % con dos dosis. Asegurarse de que tú y tus seres queridos estén al día con sus vacunas es la mejor protección contra el sarampión. ✈️ Precauciones durante las vacaciones de primavera: Con el aumento de los viajes y los eventos multitudinarios, el riesgo de exposición crece. Si planeas asistir a reuniones grandes o viajar, verifica tu estado de vacunación y practica una buena higiene. Protege a tu comunidad: ✔️ Revisa los registros de vacunación: Asegúrate de que todos los miembros de la familia, especialmente los niños, estén vacunados según las pautas del CDC. 📢 Mantente informado: Sigue las actualizaciones de los departamentos de salud locales y fuentes confiables para obtener la información más reciente sobre el brote. 🏥 Consulta a los proveedores de atención médica: Si no estás seguro de tu estado de vacunación o necesitas programar una vacuna, contacta a tu proveedor de salud lo antes posible. Manteniéndonos alerta y promoviendo la vacunación, podemos protegernos a nosotros mismos y a nuestras comunidades de esta enfermedad prevenible. Trabajemos juntos para detener la propagación del sarampión. #BroteDeSarampión #LasVacunasFuncionan #SeguridadEnSpringBreak
