The most severe cases of measles aren't always those in very young children

This flyer encourages people to check their health records and vaccination status. It is aimed at 15- to 30-year-olds, who account for half of all cases of the disease. The document reminds readers that measles is highly contagious, can be severe, and leads to hospitalization in one out of every three cases among people aged 15 to 30. There is no treatment; vaccination is the only protection.
