Measles Is Back, But It Shouldn’t Be

Measles is highly contagious, can be serious and even deadly, and is easy to prevent.

The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) is working to raise awareness about the risks associated with measles and the importance of prevention through vaccination.

Vaccination is the best way to help prevent measles. We hope that you will air the enclosed public service announcement (:30 in English) along with animated social videos and infographics as often as possible to encourage your audience to talk to a healthcare professional about measles vaccination.   

Thank you for your consideration. With your help, we can help prevent the spread of measles.

Sincerely,

William Schaffner, MD, NFID Medical Director
Marla Dalton, CAE, NFID Executive Director & CEO
