Be Ready for Measles Toolkit by the CDC
The Be Ready for Measles toolkit delivers preparedness and outbreak response tools and communication materials to make it easy for you and your jurisdiction to communicate with the public, clinicians, and partners before and during a measles outbreak.
The risk for widespread measles in the United States remains low due to robust U.S. immunization and surveillance programs and outbreak response capacity supported by federal, state, tribal, local, and territorial health partners. However, every year, measles cases occur in the United States due to unvaccinated travelers who get measles while they are in other countries. Outbreaks also occur when measles spreads in under-vaccinated communities. Anyone who is not protected against measles through vaccination is at risk.
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine remains the most important tool for preventing measles.
