The best way to keep yourself and your family healthy is to make sure you are fully vaccinated against measles. Vitamins do not prevent measles. Too much vitamin A can cause liver injury, coma, and other complications. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97% effective against measles. Always talk with your or your childโ€™s healthcare provider before making dietary and supplement changes. Learn more at boston.gov/measles. Posted March 17, 2025."
