CDC Recommendations at This Level

Active measles outbreak — vaccination is urgent

  • The CDC strongly recommends MMR vaccination for anyone who is not up to date
  • Measles is extremely contagious — it spreads through the air and can linger in a room for 2 hours after an infected person leaves
  • If you develop symptoms, call your doctor BEFORE going in — they need to prepare to avoid exposing others
  • Unvaccinated individuals should avoid public spaces where cases have been reported
  • Infants too young for MMR (under 12 months) should avoid known outbreak areas

This is general public health guidance based on CDC recommendations — not personal medical advice. Talk to your healthcare provider about what's right for you and your family.
