Avoid the misery of the three Ms: measles, mumps and meningitis

The three Ms – measles, mumps and meningitis – are serious infectious illnesses that spread easily when groups of people are gathered together, for example during a summer camp. But the misery of measles and mumps can be avoided through simple vaccination. You can reduce your risk from some forms of meningitis by getting vaccinated and watching out for symptoms.
