"We are having a measles vaccination clinic at the Fredericktown Community Library on April 16th, from 2pm-4pm. All are welcome!" Knox Public Health posted on Facebook.
The MMR vaccine is a highly effective way to prevent measles, as well as mumps and rubella. It is recommended that children receive two doses: the first dose between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second between 4 and 6 years old. Teens and adults who have received both doses are considered up-to-date on their MMR vaccination.
For additional information about the clinic, residents can visit knoxhealth.com or contact Knox Public Health at 740-392-2200 Ext. 2236.
