Welcome back, everyone, and Happy New Year! We’re glad to be with you after the holiday break. In this shorter episode, Mrs. Ford and Mia are talking about measles: the telltale signs and symptoms, why it spreads so easily, and why it’s still very much relevant in 2026. We’ll also explain why measles can be especially dangerous for babies, pregnant women, and immunocompromised folks. Most importantly, we’ll talk about the powerful role vaccination plays in protecting entire communities, like ours in Perry County.
