“Measles can be prevented with two doses of the MMR vaccine. Fortunately, most people in San Francisco have been vaccinated, but measles is still circulating in the world. It is highly infectious and can cause serious complications especially in infants, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems,” said Dr. Tomas Aragon, Health Officer for the City and County of San Francisco. “In light of the recent measles cases in California and elsewhere, now is an excellent time for everyone, particularly those planning international travel, to make sure they are up-to-date with their vaccinations.”
