The illness begins with symptoms which include fever (101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), red, watery eyes, cough and runny nose. A rash that is red, raised, and blotchy appears after several days. The rash begins on the head at the hairline and moves down the body. Symptoms can appear 7 to 21 days after exposure.
A person with measles is considered to be contagious as soon as symptoms start and can last four days after the rash appears.
You are immune to measles if you have received two measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccines, were born before 1957 and have received one MMR vaccine, or have had measles.
What to do if you think you have measles:
•If you have a healthcare provider, contact him/her by phone and let them know that you may have been exposed to measles. They will let you know when to visit their office so as not to expose others in the waiting area.
•If you do not have a health care provider, you may need to be seen at your local hospital emergency room or urgent care center. Please call before going to let them know you may have measles. For more information on measles’ signs and symptoms or where you may find vaccine, please check with your healthcare provider or your county health department.
