Have you heard that there have been measles cases reported recently in Virginia?

The best protection against measles is the measles (MMR) vaccine. Two doses are recommended to protect against measles.

Do you know how to spot an algal bloom?

Blooms can look like foam or scum on the surface of water. They can also be different colors, like green, blue, red, or brown.

Use our form to let us know what you see so that we can test for toxins: https://t.co/FRUmkzM0I0

As we close #StrokeAwarenessMonth, I want to make sure every Virginian knows that a stroke is a brain emergency. Every minute that passes, brain cells are dying. But fast treatment can restore blood flow and save brain function. Learn more at https://t.co/GUkoISmZia.

Are you planning a trip this summer?

The MMR vaccine is the best way to protect yourself against #measles while #traveling. Talk to your doctor about your family’s vaccine status and plan for your family to be fully vaccinated at least two weeks before your trip.

Drowning can happen fast, but we can prevent it by staying alert around water. Pick a water watcher, stay focused, and keep kids within arm’s reach. Your attention can save a life.

Take the Safe Swimming Pledge and help protect kids all summer long. https://t.co/GlJDdP2s0j
