The Pulse
We at Odyssey Academy are actively monitoring the measles cases along with Galveston County Health District. To keep our school healthy and safe, we must remain proactive in our response. We stress the importance of vaccination to prevent further spread.
Measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in infants and school-aged children. Vaccination coverage in pre-K and schools is essential for maintaining herd immunity and preventing outbreaks.
One dose of MMR vaccine is 93% effective against measles and two doses increases it to 97%.
For more information, the latest press release from Galveston County Health Department is attached.
Contact your campus clinic aide or District Nurse for more information on how to get vaccinated.
