What is it?
Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. It causes high fever, rash, cough and red eyes and can lead to life-threatening complications, like brain inflammation and pneumonia. Getting MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine is the best way to prevent getting and spreading measles.
HHS webpage will regularly update information about measles in North Dakota, including confirmed cases, resources for specific settings and guidance for quarantine (if you have been exposed to measles) and isolation (if you are diagnosed with measles).
What should I do?
KNOW YOUR STATUS
Each adult and child should know whether they are current on their MMR vaccination. Children receive their first dose of MMR at 12 months of age and their second between 4 and 6 years of age. The second dose can be given as early as 4 weeks (28 days) after first dose.
In a measles outbreak, infants can receive a dose of MMR as early as 6 months of age, however, this dose will not be counted toward their MMR series. It is of utmost importance that individuals around infants receive an MMR vaccine to protect them against measles.
Two doses of MMR are recommended for individuals who are:
- School-aged children
- Healthcare personnel
- International travelers
- Students attending post-high school educational institutions
The MMR vaccine is safe and effective and the best way to prevent measles infection. One dose is about 93% effective and two doses are about 97% effective at preventing measles if exposed to the virus.
