Since the beginning of this year, more than 200 measles outbreaks have been reported across multiple states -- including Maryland and Virginia.
Measles is a contagious viral infection that can be serious for children, especially babies. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, and a rash. Measles can also lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, blindness, and death.
Health experts recommend two doses of the MMR or MMRV vaccine as the best way to protect against measles.
