Measles

In this episode of Germs & Jargon, we explore measles, a highly contagious viral infection that continues to cause outbreaks around the world. Dr. Miller explains the symptoms of measles, how it spreads, and important facts about MMR vaccines and immunity. Jonathan asks the everyday questions we all want answered: Is measles really that serious? Why is it making a comeback? And what should families know in 2025?

Whether you’re a parent, a health professional, or just curious about infectious diseases, this episode breaks it all down in a way that’s clear, smart, and a little funny, because science doesn’t have to be boring.
