The best and safest way to protect against #measles is the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR). The #MMR vaccine is recommended as part of the national routine immunization schedule for children and adults. #ImmunizationAwareness@drsforamerica

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic.
It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.
