Experts warn that measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases, but it is entirely preventable through vaccination. Health authorities are urging the public to check their vaccination status and ensure their information is properly registered in the national immunization database at their local family or soum health centers. Those who have missed their measles vaccine are encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.
