Measles cases in Berks County
The department of health has designated Berks County as a high alert outbreak region. The best way to protect against the measles virus is to be vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. An early dose of MMR can be given between 6-12 months of age.
Please talk to your provider about the measles virus and the MMR vaccine at your next visit.

Summer evenings outside mean more bug bites and tick encounters. After outdoor play, do a quick tick check - especially around the scalp, ears, underarms, and behind the knees. Use insect repellent appropriate for your child's age, and check labels for proper concentration. If you find a tick, remove it promptly with tweezers, grasping close to the skin. 🌿 https://www.readingpediatrics.com/is-your-child-sick/Tick-Bite #SummerSafety #TickCheck #OutdoorPlay #PediatricCare
