CDC Recommendations at This Level
Measles cases reported — check your MMR vaccination
- • Verify that you and your children have received 2 doses of MMR vaccine
- • If you're not vaccinated, talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated now
- • Watch for symptoms: high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, followed by a rash 3-5 days later
- • If exposed, contact your doctor — post-exposure vaccination within 72 hours may prevent illness
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.
