The best way to protect against measles is with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. MMR is safe and effective. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles; one dose is about 93% effective. Prevent measles and talk to your primary care provider about the MMR vaccine.
