Walmart Offers Measles Protection Resources
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – As measles cases resurface in Tennessee, Walmart and Walgreens Health & Wellness professionals are stepping up to help keep the community safe and informed.
Local pharmacists are available for in-store or in-studio interviews to discuss important topics, including the availability of the MMR vaccine.
The vaccine provides critical protection against measles, mumps, and rubella, and Walmart is making it easy for Tennesseans to access.
With walk-in appointments and an online scheduling system, getting vaccinated has never been more convenient.
Pharmacists can also explain the efficacy and longevity of the MMR vaccine and help individuals review their immunization records.
For those dealing with measles symptoms, over-the-counter products such as fever reducers, cough drops, and rehydrating beverages can help manage discomfort.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommend the MMR vaccine as the best way to protect against measles.
If you’re unsure about your immunization status, speak with your healthcare provider or your local Walmart pharmacist for guidance.
