that mmr, measles, mumps, rubella. it's not just a one-time vaccination either. >> it's not. it's not. for kids it's two doses. for adults, it's one. we vaccinate not to protect ourselves but babies like yours who are too young to be vaccinated or people with immune problems at risk of getting it because they can't develop the immunity. so many on edge. >> they're warning anyone to stay away from the super bowl with symptoms. communities on high alert to do everything they can to be vigilant as well. >> when you see crowds of people getting together that's the setting where you have to be careful. not everyone will be protected. make sure no one goes to that setting who potentially could have measles. they're having people stay home who have the possibility they're developing measles. that's all smart things to do. >> again that vaccination, 99% effective, correct, dr. b.? >> it's terrific. >> it really is terrific. thank you very much for joining us this morning, rich. >> dan. >> rich, thank you. we move on to the other big story of the morning, january going out like a lion, february coming in the exact same way.
