Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known to humans. Up to 9 out 10 people who are not protected and are exposed to measles will become infected.

And it's not "just a rash." A measles infection can cause:
➡️ High fever
➡️ Cough
➡️ Runny nose
➡️ Red, watery eyes
➡️ A rash starting at the hairline that then spreads down the body
➡️ Diarrhea
➡️ Ear infections

‼If you or your child develop any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.‼
