Measles risks during pregnancy

Caption

Under 4 in 10 U.S. adults correctly know that low baby weight and early delivery are more likely to occur if a pregnant person gets infected with measles. Very small numbers of people also think -- incorrectly -- that diabetes, blurred vision, and death are also more likely to occur, but they are not.
