Measles Toolkit
This toolkit includes printable and digital materials in multiple languages for health care providers and public health professionals to download and share with their clients and communities. Copy and download what you need but please be mindful that this site is intended for health care providers, educators, public health, and community-based professionals and we ask that you not forward links to this website to the general public. Share feedback or bring questions to the state Department of Health's Office of Immunization.
How to Use the Toolkit
- Use these pieces as they are or customize the language to resonate with your audience.
- Add your organization or program's name, website and phone number so community members know how to learn more or contact you.
- As you decide what materials to use, consider your purpose and make a clear call to action (tell people what you want them to do).
Getting Started
To boost MMR vaccination rates and prevent measles, communities need accurate, factual information that resonates with diverse audiences. That includes community members who are unvaccinated.
Effective outreach requires health educators and community partners to express empathy, acknowledge concerns, and find common ground to address vaccine hesitancy and build vaccine confidence.
