I was exposed. What do I do?

  • Find out if you have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously.
  • Make sure you are up-to-date with the recommended number of measles (MMR) vaccinations.
  • Call your doctor if you develop a fever or an unexpected rash. Don’t go to a clinic or hospital without calling first and mentioning you were exposed to measles.

What is measles?

It’s a highly contagious disease that causes a fever, rash, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes.

Health officials say if one person has measles, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected.

Measles spreads most commonly through the air when someone coughs or sneezes.

Measles is contagious from about four days before the rash appears through four days afterward.
