Measles Exposures in the Community

School Exposures

WDG Public Health will report measles exposures that occur in a school/childcare facility. For all school/childcare exposures, students, staff and teachers have been notified and no further action is required from the public.

Community Exposures

Fully vaccinated members of the public do not need to take any further action if exposed to measles in the locations below.

If you are not fully vaccinated and were at one of the locations below at the time and date indicated, you should monitor for symptoms for 21 days.

Symptoms

• Fever
• Runny nose
• Cough
• Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis)
• Tiny white spots inside the mouth (Koplik’s spots)
• Red, blotchy rash that starts on the face and spreads downward (generally starts 3-7 days after symptoms begin)

If you develop symptoms or suspect you have measles, contact your doctor’s office and let them know you may have measles so they can take the appropriate precautions before you visit. For general questions about measles, call 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7006 to speak with a public health nurse.
