(MNN)-Health officials in the state are urging Minnesota parents to get their kids vaccinated against measles. Doctor Steven Smedshammer at Children’s Minnesota says the MMR vaccine is very safe. He says, “individuals who receive two doses, typically given at age one and age four, are protected in about 98% of cases from ever contracting measles.” Smedshammer says the most common myth about the MMR vaccine is that it causes autism or any other neurodevelopmental disorder. There have been two cases of measles in Minnesota this year and more than 900 in the U.S.
