Overview
Overview
The goal of this course is to provide general information about measles, prevention, and concerns regarding the safety of the MMR vaccine.
Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
The measles virus is one of the most highly infectious human pathogens known. When susceptible persons are exposed, up to 90% will develop the disease (CDC, 2019). Although there is a vaccine that drastically reduced the spread of measles across the globe, there was a recent spike in cases in 2019 due to a decline in vaccination rates.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the signs, symptoms, and complications of measles cases
  • List three of the most common MMR vaccine adverse effects and contraindications for the MMR vaccine
  • Discuss three reasons the measles vaccination refusal rate is increasing across the U.S.
  • Recognize the clinical features of measles and current prevention options used to reduce/prevent its spread.
  • Identify what contributes to concerns regarding the safety of the MMR vaccine in children and how to address these concerns.
