Measles is one of most contagious diseases ever known.
This can affect adults and children who haven’t been vaccinated. Please see below a list of symptoms
- Measles is extremely infectious and can be serious.
- Make sure your children get two MMR vaccines on time; the first at 1 year of age and the second at 3 years, 4 months.
- If you or your children missed these vaccines, it’s not too late. Ask for the free vaccine from your family doctor (GP) if you or your children aren’t up to date.
- If you have symptoms of measles, stay at home and phone your GP or NHS 111 for advice. Stay away from GP surgeries and A&E departments – you could spread the illness to others.
- Symptoms include: high fever; sore red, watery eyes; coughing; aching and feeling generally unwell; a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the first symptoms.
