Are you at risk of contracting measles if you’re already vaccinated? Dr. Mike Varshavski, a family medicine physician and Instagram star, explains. “The measles vaccines are 96 percent effective,” Dr. Mike says. “You will not be getting measles if you are vaccinated.” That said, because of unvaccinated communities, there is still some risk of spreading.

Symptoms to look out for include a high fever and eventually a rash that appears on day 3 or 4 of the illness. Most at risk are the very young, the very old and the immunocompromised. As for misinformation about the vaccine’s link to autism? “Flat-out not true,” warns Dr. Mike. More than 700 cases of measles have been reported in 2019.
