It can even stay in the air for up to two hours! Symptoms start with a fever, cough, and a rash, but it can also cause a dangerous condition called "immune amnesia," which makes your body's immune system forget how to fight off other illnesses. The good news is that the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at protecting you. If you were at these places, call your doctor first before going to the clinic so you don't accidentally spread it to others.
