Interview with Dr. Luis Aguirre, Program Manager with the Montgomery County Latino Health Initiative. 

This week’s edition of "En Sintonía” provides an in-depth look at measles, a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to severe health complications, especially in young children, adults with weakened immune systems and pregnant women. Dr. Aguirre discusses the symptoms, such as fever, cough, runny nose, and a characteristic rash, along with the causes and how the virus spreads through respiratory droplets. The segment also explores the risk factors that increase susceptibility to infection, including lack of vaccination and close contact with infected individuals.
