To support providers in addressing rising measles cases, we’ve created a short video PSA available in seven languages commonly spoken in King County and other diverse communities. These videos are designed to be shared with patients and families to increase awareness about measles and the importance of MMR vaccination. Language access includes: English, Arabic, French, Lingala, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, and Ukrainian.
Each video features culturally and linguistically appropriate messaging that addresses common concerns and emphasizes the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.
Key message points include:
- Measles is highly contagious and spreading
- The MMR vaccine is safe, effective, and long-lasting
- Vaccination protects individuals and the community
- Free or low-cost vaccines are available
Suggested use for providers:
- Video playback in waiting areas or exam rooms
- Share videos during patient appointments
- Include video links in clinic newsletters or text outreach
- Use at community health events or vaccine drives
Please share these videos with your community!
