Anyone who was in these locations and is unvaccinated or unsure of their vaccination status should monitor for symptoms during the listed timeframes and contact a healthcare provider before visiting a clinic.
Measles symptoms can take up to 21 days to appear and often begin with fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes before a rash develops.
Most people in the region are protected through vaccination, and overall risk to the general public is considered low. However, measles is highly contagious — up to 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people exposed may become infected.
