A measles outbreak in the U.S. has led to over 300 reported cases in early 2025, surpassing all of 2024. Vaccination is recommended to control the spread, with the MMR vaccine showing high effectiveness. Florida has confirmed one case in Miami-Dade County. Residents can check their vaccination records through doctors, schools, or the Florida SHOTS system. If records are unavailable, getting the MMR vaccine again is considered safe. The MMR vaccine is a two-dose series that typically provides lifelong protection. Those who received the MMRV vaccine also have long-term immunity. Vaccinated individuals rarely get sick, and if they do, it is usually mild.
