ALT Illustration of a health care worker and a vaccine vial. Text reads: The MMR Vaccine is Safe and Effective - The current measles vaccine has been used safely for decades, keeping children healthy and saving many thousands of lives in the U.S. Before the measles vaccine was available, an estimated 3 million to 4 million people got measles and 500 people died each year in the U.S. Because of widespread vaccination, cases of measles have decreased more than 99% - Most people who receive the MMR vaccine do not have any side effects. Some people experience mild side effects, such as fever, mild rash or swelling. Severe problems are very rare. - Vaccination is the best way to prevent measles. Anyone who has received two doses of a measles-containing vaccine is considered immune for life and unlikely to get measles. N Y C health logo.
