Measles information
Measles is a highly contagious viral illness causing fever, flu-like symptoms, and a rash, and it can lead to serious complications. Vaccination (two doses; early for travel) is the best protection, and free state-funded vaccines are available without a Medicare card.
If you have symptoms or have been exposed, seek urgent medical advice—call first and consider preventive treatment.
