In this episode, Sheena Mitchell, a pharmacist and mom of three, delves into the critical topic of measles. She discusses the highly contagious nature of the virus, its transmission, symptoms, and severe complications like pneumonia and encephalitis. She emphasizes the alarming resurgence of measles in Ireland and Europe, largely due to decreased vaccination rates amid vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. Sheena underscores the importance of achieving a 95% vaccination rate to ensure herd immunity and prevent outbreaks. She also highlights the significance of the MMR vaccine in protecting not just individuals but entire communities.
