Measles: A Quick Info Sheet You Can Share

There’s a lot of fear and confusion surrounding measles. With outbreaks making headlines and conflicting messages circulating online, it can be hard to know what to believe. To help, we’ve created a 2-page info sheet with straightforward, easy-to-understand information about the measles vaccine. It’s designed to replace fear with facts—something you can read, print, and share with others.

This printable resource includes:

What measles is, how it spreads, and common symptoms
Who is most at risk for complications, including those deficient in Vitamin A
How measles affected children before the vaccine was introduced
An overview of the measles vaccine and its history
Reported risks and long-term considerations

Whether you’re talking to a healthcare provider or looking for a quick reference to share, this info sheet is designed to help you.

Why This Resource Matters

This handout doesn’t tell you what to think—it’s designed to equip you with clear, digestible facts to help you navigate a complex and often emotional topic.

You can use it to spark conversations in your community, bring it to a doctor’s appointment, or set it out in places like schools, waiting rooms, or local events.
