Measles
Measles
virus causes rash, cough, runny nose, eye irritation, and fever.It can lead to
ear infection, pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring), brain damage, and
death.
Mumps
Mumps virus causes fever, headache, muscle
pain, loss of appetite, and swollen glands.
It
can lead to
deafness, meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord covering), painful
swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and
rarely sterility.
Rubella (German Measles)
Rubella virus causes rash, arthritis
(mostly in women), and mild fever.
If a woman gets rubella while she is
pregnant, she could have a miscarriage or her baby could be born with serious birth defects.
These diseases spread from person to
person through the air. You can easily catch them by being around someone who
is already infected.
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
vaccine can protect children (and adults) from all three of these diseases.
Thanks to successful vaccination
programs these diseases are much less common in the U.S. than they used to be.
But if we stopped vaccinating they would return.
