Measles is currently circulating at unprecedented levels in Texas and in the United States, putting unvaccinated and under-vaccinated individuals at serious risk. Please review the measles vaccine guidance below to remain informed on how you can protect yourself and your community. 

Where can I get vaccinated? 

There are several options available to get your MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine. CommUnityCare has MMR vaccines available for both adults and children.

Your healthcare team will then get you an appointment for MMR vaccine at a CommUnityCare clinic if needed.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

Measles is a highly contagious virus that is preventable in most people who are fully vaccinated. Generally, most people should receive two doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in their lifetime. This vaccine clinic is open to both adults and children who meet the current criteria for immunization. If you are unvaccinated or have only received one dose, you should get vaccinated to ensure full protection. Please note that if you do not meet the criteria for vaccination, you will not be eligible to receive a vaccine at this clinic. 

If you are unsure whether you or your children need an MMR vaccine, please review the latest vaccination guidance for adults and children or connect with a health care provider to discuss your options in more detail.

Why Is Vaccination So Important? 

Measles is a highly contagious virus, spreading rapidly through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after exposure including fever, cough, red/watery eyes, runny nose, and a rash. Measles can cause serious complications that could lead to pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death—especially in young children, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. If you believe you may have been exposed to measles, contact your healthcare provider and remain isolated at home otherwise.
