Protect Your Family From Measles
You’ll do whatever it takes to keep your family well. And we’ll do whatever it takes to help you!
In response to measles outbreaks in other parts of the country, OMC has procured enough MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) vaccine to keep our community safe. Now it’s up to you to assess your family’s need for immunization and come see us for a shot!
Measles is a serious community health issue that can lead to severe health complications, including pneumonia, brain inflammation (encephalitis), and even death, especially in children under five and adults over 30. ​Moreover, it's highly contagious—according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each person with measles can infect 9 to 10 people.
In order to keep our community safe from a measles outbreak, it’s important to make sure all those at-risk for infection have received the MMR vaccine.

your questions, answered
Am I at risk of contracting measles?
If you haven't received all of your childhood vaccinations, you are at risk.
​
What if I don't know if I've already been vaccinated?
Getting an extra dose won't hurt you, so if you are unsure of your immunization status, we recommend you come in for a vaccine.
​
​I had my childhood vaccines. Do I need a measles booster?
You are good to go. No booster needed!
