Think Measles

It's not just a kids' problem

Teenagers, young adults and anyone who has missed their MMR vaccination can get measles.

Symptoms such as:

  • high fever
  • rash - sometimes starting around the ears
  • sore red eyes
  • cough
  • aching and feeling unwell

Remember, if it could be measles - they need to be in an area where they cannot pass the infection to vulnerable patients such as the immunocompromised and pregnant women.
