If you think you or someone in your home has measles, do not go straight to the doctor’s office. Instead, call first for advice on how to get evaluated without putting others at risk. This helps stop the virus from spreading to others, especially babies and people who cannot get vaccinated. Measles can be prevented. By learning the facts, getting vaccinated, and acting quickly, we can protect ourselves and our communities.
