Last confirmed measles death in the United States was in 2015 , CDC says.

Measles is airborne and spreads easily when an infected person breathes, sneezes or coughs.

The best way to avoid measles is to get the measles, mumps and rubella ( MMR ) vaccine.

Those immunized before 1968 with an ineffective measles vaccine made from "killed" virus should be revaccinated with at least one dose, CDC says.

Weaver: "If people would just get the standard vaccination, none of this would be happening" People at high risk for infection who got the shots many years ago may want to consider getting a booster if they live in an area with an outbreak.
