What to do if you are exposed to measles?
Public health is asking anyone who was in these locations during these times to check their immunization records and ensure they are up to date with measles vaccine (MMR or MMRV).
- If you were born before 1970 or if you have ever received a measles vaccine, it is unlikely that you will get the disease.
- However, as a precaution, watch for symptoms of measles until the date that corresponds with your situation as indicated in the table above. Learn more about the symptoms and what to do if you have them.
- If you were exposed in these locations AND born in 1970 or later AND have never received a measles vaccine, AND have never had a measles infection, you should:
- Reduce exposures with others, especially anyone who has a weakened immune system or is unimmunized, from the 5th day after exposure to the 21st day after the latest exposure. Note: Individuals are not contagious in the first 4 days following the first exposure.
- Get vaccinated. Measles vaccine is recommended.
- Watch for symptoms of measles until the date that corresponds with your situation as indicated in the table above. Learn more about the symptoms and what to do if you have them.
- Close contacts may be asked by public health to isolate and consider vaccination.
- Certain people should not get the measles vaccine, including infants less than six months of age, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. These individuals should contact their health care provider or public health as they may be eligible for preventative treatment.
If symptoms develop, isolate at home and contact your health care provider and advise them of your potential exposure to measles. It is best to call ahead so health-care staff can take steps to reduce the exposure of other people to the virus.
