Symptoms

Measles symptoms appear in two stages.

In the first stage, the individual may have a runny nose, cough, and a slight fever. The eyes may become reddened and sensitive to light while the fever consistently rises each day.

The second stage begins on the third to seventh day of symptoms and consists of a temperature of 103-105°F and a red blotchy rash lasting for four to seven days. The rash usually begins on the face and then spreads down to the trunk and out to the arms and legs.

Vaccine Eligible

Measles vaccine (MMR) is typically given at 12-15 months of age. The second dose of MMR is given at 4-6 years of age. The vaccine is safe and highly effective at preventing measles infection, and two MMR doses usually produce lifelong immunity. If you are planning to travel internationally with children, MMR vaccines can be given to children starting at six months of age.

No Vaccine Necessary

The following people are considered immune to measles and don't need a vaccination:

  • Anyone born before 1957
  • Anyone who received 1 dose of measles vaccine (MMR) for an adult or a child 12 months to pre-school age
  • Anyone who received 2 doses of measles vaccine (MMR) for a school-aged child or an adult at higher risk of infection
  • Anyone with the presence of measles antibodies shown by a lab test
  • Anyone with previous measles infection shown by a lab test

You can learn more about measles on the Department of Health website where information can be found in the form of fact sheets, frequently asked questions, and a webinar for healthcare providers.
