Reports of Fort Kawas, Texas-Texas Department of State and Health Services have identified 259 measles cases since the end of January, March 14. Thirty -four patients have been admitted to the hospital and the disease and control centers have reported the matter in many other states.

The Army Public Health Nursing Team of the Fort Kiosos Department of Public Health and Carl R Darnal Army Medical Center is trying hard to support and spread the spread of diseases such as measles and raise awareness to provide significant information for the Central Texas community.

“We want the community to know that measles is extremely contagious,” said Yasinia Montia, the lead of communication disease and the registered nurse, Army Public Health, CRDAMC. “A positive case of measles is likely to take a process to keep each other, especially newborns, newborns, immunocoms, without stopping, and who are more sensitive to taking infection. We are trying to protect everyone and limit our population exposure here.

When an affected person gives cough or sneezing, the measles spreads in the air. This virus is extremely contagious and can lead to serious complications, especially for children and young children. Severe complications are pneumonia, swelling in the brain and death.

“We monitor the diseases of the hospital for the hospital, and one of our functions are reported that it shows what conditions are exposed and what doctors are diagnosed when they take care of the patients,” Montoia said. He said there are some diseases that need to be reported to the state and the army. If we see that there are extraordinary cases in a particular disease, it will be made aware of further investigations.

He added that when it comes to these diseases, we reach the public and guide our staff how to take care of the patients who can be treated with concerns.

According to the Texas Department of State and Health Services, the best way to avoid illness is to vaccinate a vaccine against measles with two doses, which is primarily a combination of measles-mumps-brown vaccine.

The CRDAMC offers a vaccine at its pediatric and Family Medicine Clinic. Patients receive two doses of MMR (measles, mamps and rubella) vaccine at the age of 12 months and four years. Patients for exhibition or vaccine questions, patients should contact their assigned clinic or primary care manager.

“Routine vaccines have been used for many years and their severe illnesses have decreased rapidly, which causes long -term complications, hospitals, or deaths, which are now mostly capable of prevention,” said CRDAMC Pediatrics Clinic Officer in -charge Major Kolby Pierceson. “They are safe, effective and well -studied. Over time, they have been made safe. There are potential side effects with any drug, usually with fever, pain, and local swelling or redness, but severe adverse incidences are very low and are generally more effective than these diseases.

Protective vaccines help those who receive immunity. He added that it gives your immune system the ability to target and eliminate these diseases quickly and effectively if they are exposed to the disease before they develop.

Keeping the latest daughter’s autumn on the vaccine is the priority of the SPC. Tiress Campbell, Chemical Specialist, 181st Chemical Company, Second Chemical Battalion, 48th Chemical Brigade.

“This is the right place and the right time to get the vaccine,” Campbell said.

“The vaccine must be vaccinated for our population to stay healthy,” said CRDAMC Pediatrics, a registered nurse of Pediatrics.

After giving a vaccine several times a day and when they receive it with most children, Parson confronted himself, reminding himself that it was necessary. He added, “I know it’s important, so every time I go to the room with these pure intentions, I know that what I am doing is helping.”

The symptoms and symptoms of which a person with the virus is cough, nose, fever, water eyes and start a week to two weeks after someone is exposed. Two to three days after the onset begins, small white spots (cope’s spots) may appear inside the mouth.
