Therapeutic Thursdays: Treatment of Vaccine Preventable Diseases: Measles (CE)

Measles is a harmful yet preventable disease that carries multiple sequelae requiring hospitalization. Due to falsified and retracted literature, the measles vaccine may be viewed as a cause of autism, which is categorically untrue. This has led to increased global morbidity and misinformation about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, including the measles vaccine.
