According to the Ministry of Health, measles is a highly contagious infectious disease that was once one of the main causes of child mortality worldwide. Despite advances in vaccination, measles continues to be a challenge for public health, especially in places where vaccination coverage is below recommended levels. The disease is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in children and people with incomplete immunization. The first symptoms, such as fever, cough, runny nose and red spots on the skin, can be confused with those of other viral infections. Therefore, experts warn of the importance of early diagnosis and vaccination, considered the main way to prevent new cases and avoid outbreaks. Vaccination is the main form of prevention against measles and is part of the routine calendar of the Unified Health System (SUS). Immunization is indicated for everyone between 12 months and 59 years of age. In outbreak situations, vaccination strategies can be expanded. In these cases, children between 6 months and 11 months of age can also be vaccinated, depending on the epidemiological situation in the region and the recommendation of health authorities. Anyone who has not been vaccinated or has an incomplete schedule should look for a health unit to start or complete the vaccination, according to the guidelines in the National Vaccination Calendar. ? Currently, the SUS offers two vaccines to protect against the disease: the triple viral, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, and the tetraviral, which also includes protection against varicella (chicken pox).
